Balcomie Links - Fife

This restaurant is located in a historic area where golf was first popularized. The terrain poses challenges, particularly from the strong winds, but there is ample space if you prefer not to play from the fairway. The final four holes are situated near the water, offering a distinctive conclusion to your game.

The Balcomie Links is a great old links course and should be part of any trip to Fife/St.Andrews.The club is very welcoming to visitors and the course is quirky and fun to play.

Balcomie was a Tom Morris design course and his personal favorite. Every hole is on the ocean and nice elevation changes give amazing views. Not as famous as St Andrews but Crail considers itself The Home of Golf also. About a 15 minute cab ride it is well worth it 50 GBP Green fees. Caddie's are amazing and better golfer than the players. Ian and Kevin made our round memorable. Do not miss playing a great course on the ocean.

"Amazing and welcoming staff, excellent value, wide range of choices, and great equipment quality for the price."
