The Magic of Fife: Discover Scotland's Golfing Paradise


Fifes, Scotland: a mystical land of rolling green hills, rugged coastal cliffs, and a castle perched on a towering rock. But for the avid golfer, Fife offers a treasure trove of golfing glory that's hard to match – a realm where the pursuit of the perfect swing never ceases, and where golfers from around the globe are spoiled for choice with an incredible array of courses. From world-famous links to hidden local gems, a day spent golfing in Fife is an unforgettable experience. And as you swap stories over a pint and weave your way through the labyrinthine halls of ancient inns, you'll discover that in Fife, the legendary Scottish hospitality is just a part of the landscape.


Nestled on the East coast of Scotland, the Kingdom of Fife is often hailed as the "home of golf." It is here, amidst the windswept dunes and heathery glens, that the modern-day game was born – and it is here that some of the world's most prestigious courses await your arrival. When it comes to golf in Fife, aficionados are spoiled for choice, with over 45 enchanting courses offering not only exhilarating rounds but also stunning vistas of the unspoiled countryside and glimpses of the sparkling North Sea.


Perhaps the crown jewel of golfing in Fife is the St. Andrews Links, a collection of seven majestic courses that have played host to numerous championship contests. It's hard not to feel a sense of awe as you tee off from the charmingly named "Old Course" – the oldest and most iconic course in the world, where legends like Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Seve Ballesteros have all tasted victory. Steeped in centuries of golfing heritage and boasting an incomparable atmosphere, walking the historic fairways of St. Andrews is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.


But don't let the fame and prestige of St. Andrews overshadow the other magnificent golfing opportunities to be found in Fife. For those brave enough to venture beyond the well-trodden path, there are many lesser-known delights waiting to be explored – or as we like to call them, Fife's hidden gems. At Crail Golfing Society, visitors can absorb the stunning coastal views while challenging themselves on two diverse courses: the challenging Balcomie Links or the modern, undulating Craighead Links. And in the tranquil village of Elie, you'll find a charming golf course that no less a figure than golf writer Tom Doak once described as the "most fun" he'd ever had on a golf course.


Feeling inspired? Your Fife golfing adventure begins with a visit to Mulligan Plus, an online directory offering comprehensive resources for golfers looking to unlock the magic of Fife. From detailed course profiles and easy-to-navigate maps, to information on booking tee times, Mulligan Plus is your gateway to the hidden riches that await in the land of golf.


So, what are you waiting for? It's time to pack your bags, dust off your clubs, and embark on a golfing journey like no other. Take in the breathtaking beauty of the Kingdom of Fife by day, and soak up the warmth of its legendary hospitality by night. Experience the unrivaled pleasures of playing golf on some of the most storied and stunning courses in the world.
