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.

I've played many golf courses around the world and this remains one of my favourites. Yes it is not the longest course but there are many holes that make you think... 1st, 7th, 9th lay up to leave a full shot or go for a green surrounded by danger 2nd, 4th, 5th how aggressive a line to take 10th carry the bunker off the tee to a narrower landing area or play safe 13th, 14th, 16th, 18th tough holes you'll be happy to take a par 3 at If the wind blows this course challenges any golfer. If you want a traditional and lengthy links course play Craighead. I'd personally reccomend Craighead in the morning after a good breakfast and then Balcomie in the afternoon. I currently live in Dubai so my trips are limited but when I played last week it was as amazing as ever!
