Golf
The ancient Kingdom of Fife is the Home Of Golf and the Cottage is perfectly situated overlooking Crail Golf Course. Situated 11 miles from the famous St Andrews golf courses, Crail golf course is relatively short at 5720 yards but it's imaginative and tricky layout mean that it's no pushover. Crail golf course tempts the golfer with difficult but rewarding shots including the 5th hole, known as "Hell's Hole", where a successful shortcut across the shoreline can prove either a round-winner or a disastrous mistake. As with many courses in the St Andrews area, Crail golf course is set on a beautiful coastline, making even a bad round a pleasure. Visitors can play all year round from £30 per round during winter months and rising to £51 during summer months. For more information and online tee reservation please contact owner.
