Golf in Fife
Fife, The Home of Golf, is a must-visit destination for every golfer. Fife is only a 30 minutes drive from Edinburgh Airport and is home to more than 40 excellent golf clubs. Many of the Fife golf courses were founded before 1900, but Fife is also home to some very new golf courses, like Dumbarnie Links which opened in 2020. When visiting Fife for a golf break, you have to visit St Andrews Links. If you are not able to play the Old Course, then at least try one of the other six courses of St Andrews. Other top Fife golf courses are: Kingsbarns Golf Links, Crail Golfing Society, Leven Links Golf Club and Fairmont St Andrews. The best golf courses in Fife are located around St Andrews and Leven. When in Fife and you want a break from golf - something we can't really imagine - then discover the ancient castles, explore golden beaches, learn about the history of whisky or swim with sharks! If you're flying in, you can choose from airports at Edinburgh to the south, Glasgow to the west or Dundee to the north. Edinburgh Airport is less than 30 minutes away so you'll be in Fife in no time. Dundee Airport is even closer and also has excellent road and rail links into Fife.

Na twee jaar uitstel door Covid was het eindelijk zover: wij gingen naar ‘ The Home of Golf’. Het is een gewaagde uitspraak maar na hier geweest te zijn, durf ik te stellen dat hier geen overdrijving in besloten ligt. Waar anders tref je groepen mensen lopend met golftassen op hun rug door een stad? Waar anders staan er bij een pub in de stad golftassen van bezoekers? W…

What to say: playing the Old Course is "the experience" for every golfer. And to do so, it is worth waking up at 3.30 a.m. and standing in line from 4.00 a.m.! Finally teed off at 6.30 a.m. with my caddy carrying the bag. What a day... can't wait to go back. Course is probably not the most difficult with no wind, but who cares!

De baan zelf speelde met een beetje wind. Geen echte zee wind maar toch …

Julien, j’ai un tee time au Old Course dans 5 jours... peux tu venir? Quelle question merveilleuse. Et me voilà parti vers l’Ecosse, pays de golf préféré. Après un échauffement sur le parcours de Crail Craighead puis un retour à Kingsbarns dans un vent dantesque (perdu mon drone mais adoré jouer avec les éléments), nous profitons du lundi pour jouer (ou rejouer pour …
