The Ancient Kingdom of Fife is perhaps most famous because of St Andrews, the undisputed home of golf. But it’s not just about St Andrews. It is almost unnecessary to say that the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the various courses have not just shaped the town, but seep into its very heart. But there is more than just the St Andrew’s courses; there are many other charming and historic courses include Crail, Elie, Lundin and Leven Links, Ladybank Kingsbarns and The Castle course. We are not far from Carnoustie and the famous Open Qualifying courses at Downfield, Panmure and Monifieth as well. Many of the local courses were originally designed by Tom Morris.
