< Back Crail Golf Club Crail Golfing Society, Crail, Anstruther KY10 3XN, UK Outdoor events Box Office 0333 666 3366 hello@crailfestial.org Description Crail Golfing Society It comes as no surprise that Crail is home to a historic golf club, after all, this is a place where history lives in every stone. Early records refer to it as Cherel , and by 1153 as Karel , names rooted in Pictish words for ‘fort’ and ‘rocks’. An 8th-century stone cross-slab preserved in the parish church hints at even deeper origins. Crail became a Royal Burgh in 1178 under King William the Lion. Later, Robert the Bruce granted permission for Sunday markets in the Marketgate, which thrived for centuries among Europe’s largest. Built around its charming (and still working) fishing harbour, much of Crail’s distinctive 17th- to 19th-century architecture reflects Dutch influences, a legacy of thriving trade with the Netherlands. Today, Crail Golfing Society sits on the eastern edge of the Kingdom of Fife, just 12 miles from St Andrews, the Home of Golf. Founded in 1786, the club traces its roots to the very dawn of the game. While no two rounds at Crail are ever the same, one thing remains constant: the warm welcome of genuine Scottish hospitality.

Parking Visitors can park in the club's car park. Please allow enough time to park to avoid inconvenience. Location Crail Golfing Society, Crail, Anstruther KY10 3XN, UK
