The Crail Golfing Society in Fife, Scotland, notified golfers on March 25 that the club’s 2022 visitor income goal of 750,000 euros had been surpassed in January. As a result, the club, founded in 1786 and down the road from St. Andrews, will no longer accept visitor bookings on Balcomie Links before 3 p.m. and on the Craighead Links before 1:30 p.m. until April 2023.
