There is no doubt the old Leven G.C. began to play as early as 1846 amongst the bents, sandhills and windlestraie, west of the Mile Dyke. For a time only 9 holes were in being all maintained by the golfers and their families (a paid Keeper of the Green did not appear at Leven until 1876). They were joined in 1867 by members of Innerleven G.C. who, in the guise of a component in the merger with Leven G.C. to form Leven Golfing Society, lays claim to the title of the world s eleventh oldest club. It had been holding competitions on the now defunct Dubbieside links, across the river Leven, since Formed in the same year (1867) was Leven Thistle G.C. which has played over the links continuously since that time and is rightly recognised as one of the strongest playing clubs in Scotland today. fternoon transfer back to Accommodation ransfers available to St Andrews for Dinner (Own Expense). CRAIL GC A combination of stunning coastal views, centuries of history and hugely enjoyable golf is what makes Balcomie Links one of Scotland s most finely polished, golfing gems.this traditional, classic links course was laid out by the old master himself, Tom Morris, and opened in Created in the days when course design was governed by the natural lie of the land and not the mechanical earth mover, Balcomie has the unusual combination of three par fives, six par threes and nine par fours, producing a tough par of 69. Extraordinary holes abound, along with those which seriously challenge and those which are more comfortable. The sum total is a layout which both enchants and delights, but which also demands and punishes, testing all the skills in a golfer s armoury as well as his nerve. Those length seekers who believe Balcomie will be a soft touch, do so at their peril.
