A wee cracker

Having played the Craighead course a few years ago we finally had the chance of the Balcomie on our visit this year. Did not disappoint. Some magic holes and some tough ones (4th and 5th if I remember rightly over the bay, we had a calm day but when windy those are beasts. 13 and 14 are two lovely par 3's on the way back in.

Lovely

Great course, we played the Craighead but don't think it matters as they are both fantastic. Great condition and really enjoyed the whole day.

Would love to return to play the other course which may be a bit better going by the member comments.

More challenging than it first appears, with a couple of spectacular holes over small bays. Friendly welcome and great practice facilities.

Lovely, refreshingly well maintained course and with the prevailing winds a challenging prospect.

Great course, welcoming staff

Very nicely presented courses, great staff, traditional club house with a long heritage. Balcomie is very open but I really enjoyed it and recommend it and Craighead. Playing both in a day was very enjoyable. Gorgeous sea views

Great course with awesome views, unfortunately I had the wettest round I've ever played in with crazy winds, the only down side was being too wet to play the Balcomie course. Definitely go here, it's awesome

Played Balcomie in a horrendous wind, absolutely great fun. Course in excellent condition for December 30th, greens amazing. A must visit for everyone. Clubhouse very busy, service was excellent, best bacon rolls in the business. If you have not played this course, find a way to get there, soon.

A very windy day and some rain. Fairways are generous and it's not a long course. Very tricky greens and in very good condition.

What a course. Some serious conditions in the wind whilst the Open was abandoned a bit further up the coast, so much fun though.
