Crail Golfing Society
About Crail Golfing Society
The old Balcomie Links in the old burgh of Crail near St Andrews is one of Scotland's finest golfing treasures. There is great antiquity here. The Crail Golfing Society was founded in 1786, at a time when there were only six other golf clubs in existence anywhere in the world. Set in an exposed corner on the most easterly point of the Kingdom of Fife on a promontory known as Fife Ness, the present course remains much as it did after Old Tom Morris from St Andrews laid out the first nine holes in 1895 and then added a second nine four years later. Balcomie has many admirers from all over the world and when the Open Championship is at St Andrews it is not unusual to see the famous faces of the game's greatest players taking on this delightful little golf course.

Dit was onze 2e baan die we hadden geboekt. Helaas was de Balcomie niet beschikbaar en speelden we Craighead Links. Leuke links baan met een aantal erg leuke holes! Helaas hadden we een erg trage flight voor ons (4 spelers en 4 caddies). Al waren er al op de 1e 9 holes voldoende mogelijkheden om ons door te laten (2 bal in buggy), pas op hole 13 mochten we door. Dit heeft dan toch invloed op de spel en plezier (mentaal).. Daarnaast ligt de baan langs een kartbaan, waar de karts wel heel erg veel lawaai maken. Als we (redelijk) hadden kunnen doorspelen en de kartbaan er niet was geweest, hadden we zeker meer genoten van onze ronde.

Le previsioni meteo sono pessime e quindi in campo ci sono solo un po' di scozzesi. È sempre impegnativo e divertente, al vento non hai mai riparo. La manutenzione è eccellente e la salsedine si sente sulle labbra. Alla 10 inizia la vera pioggia, l'ombrello è inutile e si rompe pure. Rimaniamo in pochi e perdo di vista i team intorno a me, ma una volta che ti sei acclimatato e che peggio di così non potrebbe essere ti diverti un mondo.

Craighead links gespeeld. Super vriendelijke ontvangst en caddymaster. Mooi grote drivingrange en oefengreens. Craighead is een zeer mooie , afwisselende links baan in een zeer mooie omgeving langs de zee. Spijtig dat Carting-baan vlakbij wat veel lawaai maakte maar ik had al mijn concentratie nodig op baan zodat het weinig storend was. Goed onderhouden fairways en super greens. Baan is zeker een aanrader.

Een absolute aanrader voor wie houdt van authentiek Schots golfen met spectaculaire uitzichten. De ligging aan de kustlijn is adembenemend en zorgt voor een onvergetelijke ervaring. De greens waren mooi effen en eerlijk – echt een genot om op te putten. De baan bevat leuke holes met flink wat hoogteverschil, wat het spel afwisselend en uitdagend maakt. De par 3’s zijn pittig en goed verdedigd, terwijl de par 5’en haalbaar zijn en kansen bieden. Enige minpuntje: er is regelmatig verkeer van spelers op aangrenzende fairways, wat soms wat onrustig kan zijn. Maar dat hoort ook een beetje bij de charme van deze klassieke linksbaan. Al met al een prachtige ervaring!

Balcomie Links
Centuries of golf has been played over these beautiful old links; long before the days of formal rules, mechanised mowers and metal cups. Much of the course as it is enjoyed today was laid out in 1895 by the master himself, Old Tom Morris. Balcomie is one of Scotland's golfing gems, it's a must-play course for members and visitors alike. Much of the course as it is played today was down to the masterful eye of a true legend of the game, Old Tom Morris. Open Champion, father of Young Tom, and "Grandfather of Golf", Old Tom laid out the first 9 holes in 1895 and extended the course to 18 holes in 1900. Crail Golfing Society and the Balcomie Links is just a small part the landscape and history of the East Neuk. The old lifeboat shed of 1884 still stands today and is a proud landmark across the course. The first hole of Balcomie is named after it.

Craighead Links
It is no accident that members play Craighead as much as our old course. The course is a very different challenge to the links of Balcomie, but no less memorable. Gil Hanse, the acclaimed American architect designed the course to be at one with the clifftop environment and ancient medieval walls. At full-length Craighead Links has hosted national and international championships. From expertly placed tee boxes, golfers of all levels play spectacular holes surrounded by breathtaking coastal views.
