Balcomie Links

Balcomie Links is one of Scotland’s oldest and most atmospheric links courses, with history dating back to 1786. Closely associated with Old Tom Morris, the course offers classic links architecture in open coastal surroundings. As a par 71 layout, it combines traditional course design with wide views across the North Sea.

Golf here is played in a landscape where weather, wind and firm ground conditions form a natural part of the challenge. The course is varied without being unnecessarily long and rewards precision, thoughtful play and a sound understanding of true links conditions. The round feels authentic and unfiltered – as Scottish golf is meant to be.

Crail Golfing Society is one of the oldest golf clubs in the world, and the setting reflects deep history, genuine Scottish golf culture and a warm, informal welcome. Balcomie Links suits golfers seeking a historic and authentic links experience away from the busiest areas around St Andrews.
