Crail Golfing Society - Balcomie Links Course
Played On 08/27/2015Another Hidden gem
Great course if you want to get away from the big boys (St. Andrews, Kingsbarns etc.) and pay half the price. Very playable, an easy walk with great views. A true links with dog legs left and right, uphill and downhill shots, strong par 3's. Very friendly staff. Does have some shared fairways so keep an eye out for oncoming golfers. Well worth the drive down from St. Andrews (10 minutes). Highly recommended.
St. Andrews Links - Old Course
Played On 08/26/2015Calm down and enjou the course!
Played the Old Course 3 times in a 10 day period. Got there bright and early (5:00 AM), got in line, signed in at opening (6:00 AM) and got off at 8:10, 11:30 and 1:10. Had played it before but wanted to get a real feel for the course by playing it 3 times in a row. It's a must play course just for the feel and the history. Caddies are a must, especially for reads on the greens because of the subtle breaks you just won't see. The older the caddy the better for their greater knowledge and the fact they won't be checking text messages all the time. Front nine very playable, course stiffens on the way in. Try not to hit the hotel on # 17 and keep left at all times.

Played On 06/27/2015Good Not Great
I was a bit underwhelmed by this course. It only really has 5 or 6 holes along the water, the rest have more of a parkland feel. They are very nice parkland holes though! Some spectacular views along the way. After playing a third round I started to like this course. It's challenging, but fair. Fairways are fairly generous, very important to be on the right section of the green with your approach so pick up the pin placement sheet when you check in. They had a very tough winter so right now there is some winter kill showing. Good not great
