Number 62. Played Autumn 2012. Traditional links designed by Old Tom Morris & James Braid.


The Golf House Club in Elie has been playing golf over these links since 1875 and the course has remained pretty much unchanged since 1896. Therefore you are getting an authentic Scottish seaside links experience which relies not on distance or tricked up greens to offer a challenge but instead lets the elements decide on how well you will do! It is an interesting course which starts slowly but as you wind towards the beach becomes increasingly fabulous. The stretch from the 9th until the 14th is as good a stretch of holes as you will find anywhere in Scotland. In particular the 13th is one of the Scotland's finest par 4s and dont take my word for it, James Braid thinks that too! The course is ranked only 62nd which, in my opinion, is too high. I would suggest that this is a course which should be within the top 50.
