Crail Golfing Society, founded on 23 February 1786, is the seventh oldest golf club in the world. Located on the easternmost tip of the Kingdom of Fife at Fife Ness—just 11 to 12 miles south of St Andrews—the society is highly regarded as an international golf destination. It features two distinct 18-hole championship links courses that offer stunning, panoramic views of the North Sea from every hole.

Description of the Courses & Facilities

Crail Golfing Society offers a 36-hole authentic Scottish links experience, blending centuries-old golf heritage with modern architecture.

• Balcomie Links: This traditional links course is the club’s crown jewel. Formally laid out by the legendary Old Tom Morris, it features a unique and unusual routing of three par-5s, six par-3s, and nine par-4s (Par 69). The course tightly hugs the rugged coastline, making shot-making highly dependent on the wind. It is defined by natural hollows, shared greens, stone walls, and bunker faces lined with old railway sleepers.

• Craighead Links: Opened in 1995, Craighead was the first solo course design by renowned American architect Gil Hanse. It provides a more modern, longer, and physically demanding championship layout. A key historical feature of this course is the "Dane's Dike," a 1,400-year-old defensive wall built by Vikings that comes into play on the course.

• The Balcomie Clubhouse: Perched above the cliffs, the clubhouse offers a well-appointed restaurant and bar with sweeping coastal views

The Old Course at St Andrews, located on the North Sea coast of Fife, Scotland, is universally recognized as the "Home of Golf" and the oldest golf course in the world. It is a public links course that has evolved organically over six centuries, setting the blueprint for the modern game.

Description & Layout

The Old Course is a traditional links layout built on common land. It features a distinctive, mostly linear "out-and-back" routing. Golfers play away from the town toward the Eden Estuary for the first nine holes, loop around, and retrace their steps back into town for the inward nine.

• Double Greens: Its most iconic architectural feature is its seven massive double greens. Shared by two different holes (e.g., the 2nd and 16th, the 3rd and 15th), their respective hole numbers always add up to 18. Only the 1st, 9th, 17th, and 18th holes have isolated single greens.

• Famous Bunkers & Landmarks: The course is peppered with legendary hazards, most notably the deep "Hell Bunker" on the 14th hole and the treacherous "Road Hole Bunker" (or Sands of Nakajima) protecting the 17th green.

• The Swilcan Bridge: Spanning the Swilcan Burn between the 1st and 18th fairways, this 700-year-old stone bridge is one of the most photographed structures in all of sports.

• Sunday Closure: True to centuries of tradition, the Old Course closes to golf on Sundays. On this day, it transforms into a public park where locals and tourists can freely walk across the historic fairways

Dumbarnie Links

Dumbarnie Links is a premium daily-fee facility that has quickly established itself as a modern classic, offering an expansive layout with dramatic elevation changes.

• Description: Designed by former Ryder Cup player and architect Clive Clark, Dumbarnie occupies 345 acres on a south-facing slope overlooking the Firth of Forth. Unlike traditional flat links, the course features a unique topography that reaches a high point of 80 feet above sea level, providing sweeping sea views on 14 of its 18 holes. The course incorporates broad fairways but defends itself with steep escarpments, deep bunkers, and up to three potentially drivable par-4s depending on wind conditions.

• History: While the modern course officially opened in May 2020, the land on the Balcarres Estate has been held by the family of the Earl of Crawford for over 400 years. Fascinatingly, archival discoveries reveal that competitive golf was played nearby as early as 1837 by the historic Hercules Golf Club. The modern iteration was championed by golf historian Malcolm Campbell, who recognized the site's massive potential in the late 1990s. Soon after its debut, Dumbarnie hosted the 2021 Women's Scottish Open

The New Course is often affectionately called the "oldest 'new' course in the world," running directly parallel to its world-famous older sibling.

• Description: Despite the name, the New Course opened in April 1895. Laid out on the same narrow strip of public linksland as the Old Course, it features a classic "out-and-back" routing. While it lacks the extreme contours of the Old Course, many locals and purists consider it a fairer and more demanding test of golf. It features tighter fairways, denser gorse bushes, and smaller, highly undulating greens. Like the Old Course, it is managed by the St Andrews Links Trust and remains completely public.

• History: By the late 19th century, the surge of golf tourism brought on by the railway system created severe congestion on the Old Course. To alleviate the pressure, the Royal & Ancient Golf Club (R&A) funded the construction of an additional course. The legendary Old Tom Morris was commissioned to design it, alongside engineer Benjamin Hall Blyth. It shares a few historic similarities with the Old Course, including a singular shared double green at the 3rd and 15th holes

Kingsbarns Golf Links

Kingsbarns is highly regarded as one of the most stunning "new" links in the world, frequently ranking among the global top 50 golf courses.

• Description: Located 7 miles south-east of St Andrews, Kingsbarns was designed by architect Kyle Phillips and opened in July 2000. Phillips meticulously sculpted a tiered, amphitheatre-style layout out of flat agricultural land so that every single hole offers direct views of the North Sea. It is defined by its pristine fescue turf, fast rolling fairways, and spectacular coastal carries—most notably the par-3 15th hole, which requires a shot directly over the ocean waves. It has no members and operates exclusively for public visitor play. [

• History: Though the current course is modern, golf at Kingsbarns dates back to 1793. The original Kingsbarns Golfing Society was founded in 1815, playing on a 9-hole course until a tenant farmer ploughed the land back into wheat fields in 1850. Open Champion Willie Auchterlonie revived a 9-hole course here in 1922, but it was dismantled again during World War II when military planners mined the beach and links to guard against a German invasion. Since 2001, it has co-hosted the European Tour's annual Alfred Dunhill Links Championship alongside Carnoustie and the Old Course
