Crail Golfing Society (Craighead)

Founded in 1786 the Crail Golfing Society is the seventh oldest golfing society in the world and a bona fide jewel in the crown of Scottish golf.

Its Balcomie course is recognised as a true classic, although its sister course, Craighead Links, is by no means a filler - it stands on merit alone.

Notable features include wide, sweeping fairways, large, expansive greens and sizeable bunkers that are only too happy to provide a temporary home for your ball.

Visitors are presented with a true test of Scottish links golf that isn't easily forgotten, while the views of the clifftop setting are just as admirable.

American Gil Hanse designed the 18-hole layout, and everything about the links style land makes for a super round of golf.
