A James Braid designed golf course, just 30 minutes from St. Andrews, Scotland, and a qualifying course to The Open Championship when played in St. Andrews, It's a cross between links golf and after the 5th hole becomes more parkland like, with a railroad line bisecting the two type running into some higher ground. There's a few burns on 8 holes to contend with, out of bounds on 16 hole, and more than 100 bunkers, half dozen blind shots, and the ever present wind. It's all you can handle, but the setting is gorgeous when it's clear, situated on Largo Bay of the Firth of Forth looking across to Edinburgh, and right next to Leven Links if you choose to play 36. .

Having spent the morning playing my best round of the trip at Kingsbarns, I decided to pop over to Elie for an afternoon gambol on the grounds that had such great influence on James Braid. Sadly, a ladies tournament was taking place, forcing me elsewhere. My next choice was to head a bit further east to Lundin Links, a course I heard good things about and hoped would extract a smaller financial toll than most of my other choices. I was a little disappointed on both fronts, as the guest fee was still over $90 U.S.D. and the course was a clear step down from some of the other “modest” links I’d visited (e.g. Golspie, Crail).

Had the pleasure of playing Lundin on the last day of our trip to St. Andrews. I enjoyed the course, however it didn't stand out compared to the other courses I played on that trip like Kingsbarns, The Old and Jubilee, and even Crail. Kind of a letdown to be frank, and still on the expensive. Doubt I'd play here again.
