The East Neuk of Fife is home to many golf courses and there are about 50 courses within easy reach of The Golf Hotel, but we have selected a few of the best ones closest to Crail.....

Crail Golfing Society – Balcomie Links Balcomie Links is at Fife Ness, the most easterly point in the East Neuk of Fife. A spectacular course offering a testing challenge to golfers of all abilities. Walk the splendid links and follow in the footsteps of thousands of golfers over two centuries. It’s a beautiful course and full of interest, with views of the sea from every tee. As befits a classic links set-up, each of the holes has its own character, which makes for a fascinating round of golf.

Crail Golfing Society - Craighead Links
The second links at Fife Ness, completed in 1998, has joined Balcomie Links as one of Scotland's must-play courses. A longer course, it has wide sweeping fairways and testing greens, making it a fair challenge. Be warned - there are hungry bunkers aplenty! No two consecutive holes face the same direction and with the constantly changing conditions there is enough variety to test golfers of all abilities.
