Pure fun on a timeless links course
Reviewed December 5, 2024
We played the Tim Morris course "Balcomie Links" in early September 2024 in pleasant sunny weather.
The course has already been accurately described by others here. The relatively thin rough and the not-too-long fairways contribute significantly to the positive playing experience.
Due to its age, the course is literally flooded with US golfers. Unfortunately, this is reflected in the significantly increased green fees.
Nevertheless, we can recommend the place without reservation. If you have time afterwards or beforehand, you can treat yourself to a section of the popular "Coastal Pathway" hiking trail from there.

Great fairways along the coast
Reviewed July 23, 2023
Several holes of the Balcomie Course are right on the water, from the others you always have a beautiful view of the sea. Holes 13 and 15 have a steep climb over the rough to the green. A challenge! Hole 14 a spectacular par 3 down from the clubhouse hill. In June the fairways were beautifully grassed. A magnificent course with green fees still affordable compared to Kingsbarns or St Andrew.

Fairways straw yellow
Reviewed September 14, 2022
Playmate Balgomie Links Great sea views from all holes.
Fairways August 2022 straw yellow due to drought but very playable.
Greens impeccable and fast.
Very nice staff and because of the view worthwhile restaurant.
Historic place with sometimes outdated crossing layout.
Overall, however, it cannot come close to the neighboring Kingsbarns course - but it only costs 1/3 of the green fee (120 Pds)

Gil Hanse and Old Tom Morris
Reviewed July 23, 2019
The Old Tom Morris Course is located on a headland that juts out into the sea and demands good and accurate play in tight spaces!
Very classic Ancient Old Tom Morris design! The Balcomie Course is a real linkscourse in a great location!
Significantly less near the sea has the 100 years younger Gil Hanse Course! Nevertheless, this course is fun!
He is longer and more modern and also has his difficulties!
The Old Tom Morris Course is clearly better!
The Gil Hande Craighead course gets 3.8 stars and the Balcomie 4.4 stars!

Great Place
Reviewed September 19, 2018
Played on 5.9.18. Weather git, sun and little wind. Not the longest course but a gem. Can you play again and again? Spectacular holes always along the sea.
Nice clubhouse and friendly people everywhere

Very well-kept place, friendly staff. We enjoyed the environment in bright sunshine. Unfortunately very loud Americans were at the place, which also played very slowly. Otherwise top.

Sensational Links Course craighead
Reviewed September 17, 2016
The new place is super nicely arranged with sensational views of the open sea. In wind really hard to play and the green fee after 15:00 with a 50% discount reasonably priced The old place is also very nice bobbling but always quite busy

Have played the course first on the St. Andrews travel. The younger not Balcomie Crailh... Super nice layout that always goes along the coast. Fairways not in very good condition Green okay compared to St. Andrews and Kingsbarns quite as top. Tips on Teeofftimes. Book co. uk then you get discount for last minute bookings.

Founding in 1786...
Reviewed October 1, 2014
In beautiful autumn weather we've played here a really nice round. The site, whose layout is noticeable in that he is very old, is located directly by the sea. Even though the greens and tee box's sometimes very close to each other, an unforgettable golf experience. You can tell this is a part of golf history. We'll be back. Only the operation in the clubhouse was not 1a, ie rather impersonal.
