The Scots associate golf with Crail almost as closely as they do St. Andrews. Founded in 1786, The Crail Golfing Society is the seventh oldest in the world. Crail Golfing Society oversees operation of two amazing links layouts. The older of the two, Balcomie Links, first appears in the historical records in 1859. The original eight holes, which were first built by the farmer who owned the dune-cluttered seaside property, were eventually redesigned by Old Tom Morris, who also added 10 more holes. While the 5922-yard, par-69 Balcomie Links is the epitome of seaside links, with its shorter yardages and quaint eccentricities, the new 6,728-yard, par-71 Craighead Links is a completely modern design with all the features of classical links courses. Golfers visiting Scotland simply cannot play two more picturesque seaside links courses on the same property. --Kiel Christianson
