Formed in 1786, the Crail Golfing Society Balcomie Links is the 7th oldest Golf Club in the world and consists of two courses, the Balcomie and the Craighead. Situated only 11 miles from St Andrews, these true links style courses are extremely popular with both locals and tourists. The Balcomie was laid out by Tom Morris in 1895, but was played on many years before. Set on a magnificent coastline this challenging course is highly regarded for its testing holes, standard of greens and breathtaking scenery. Watch out for the fifth, described by Sam Torrance as the hardest par four in Scotland.

Situated to the south of Royal Dornoch, Tain is a heathland/links course with spectacular views. Designed originally by Old Tom Morris as a fifteen-hole course in 1890, it was extended to eighteen holes in 1894; eleven Morris holes are still in play today. This is an easy walking course with the river meandering through three of the holes. Always presented in beautiful condition, Tain is a good test of golf, with clever bunkering and natural water hazards. Tain is located 35 miles north of Inverness.
