About
Canmore Golf Club in Dunfermline was built in 1897 and has been at its present site since 1902. In 1914, the nine-hole course became 18, although play on the back nine was limited as most of it was given up during World War I. The golf course had a second run from 1921 until 1941, when World War II intervened. In 1946, after a redesign, the course was given back to Canmore Golf Club, and, with the exception of a few small changes, the layout remains the same today.
One of the changes has been the addition of more trees, which have created a more defined layout. The par-67 golf course is comprised of five par 3s and 13 par 4s, with nary a par 5 in sight. Don't mistake the lack of a cinco as some nod to economical layout, it's more like stingy ratings. There are a few long par 4s, like the 430-yard 17th, nicknamed "Sandwich." The fairway here slopes steeply from left to right, with bunkers on the right and trees on the left.
Canmore Golf Club's signature hole is the 11th, "Quarry," a 374-yard par 4. Your second shot after the drive is blind, 30 feet down to a green surrounded on two sides by steep embankments and an out of bounds. There's also two bunkers and a burn to spice things up. The 11th hole is in the middle of a particularly tough stretch on Canmore that doesn't get much easier. The 10th has an out of bounds running along the left side, and the 12th, a par 3, features a tee shot over a big gorge full of trees. The 13th, another par 3, features more out of bounds to the left of the green. Make it out of this stretch with your sanity and a decent score, and you might be in for a good day.
Canmore Golf Club is open to visitors from Sunday to Friday from March to October and Sunday to Saturday from November to February. Catering and full bar service are available. Also, party bookings are welcomed on all weekdays and selected Sundays throughout the year.

Canmore Golf Club
The overall course conditions are super!!! Didn’t play well though but will definitely come back again soon!
Decent course
Played today, wasn’t a bad course just a bang average layout was a decent challenge
great course and very enjoyable
Canmore is a lovely, well maintained course. A good mixture of fairly easy and difficult holes, with some well placed bunkers and great scenery, The course looks well run, ample parking and staff friendly and helpful. A great day out.
Great condition and value
With GolfNow increasing prices significantly on so many courses it's great to find a course at such a great price and in such good condition early in the season . A fairly short course and with very little rough it gives you the chance to score well . Recommended
Very Friendly Course
Played Canmore as Dunblane Golf Course was waterlogged.
Arrived at 1000 and a fellow golfer (member) couldn’t have been more friendly. Great start. Then go into Pros - Pro was excellent and shop well stocked. Said I was due out 1030 but if I was ready I could start immediately. Brilliant. Four ball in front and the “young aged pensioners” allowed me to play through when I caught at Fourth hole. Great banter from the 4 guys. The two ball (think husband and wife) did the same and allowed me to play through as well. Other courses I’ve been stuck behind a four ball for the duration. So hats off.
Course in very good condition considering the rainfall recently. Green staff 👏👏👏. Greens in good condition and very forgiving course as very open.
Really enjoyed my day. Dunblane (which I’ve played lots) loss as waterlogged . Canmore take a bow.
Credit re the friendliness from all I encountered. Never went into clubhouse for meal. A really friendly Golf Family at Canmore.
An away round
Had an away round at Canmore the course was in good condition although a bit damp in places and using mats but that’s only to be expected at this time of year. We had a group of 3 and we all enjoyed our round, we will be back.
Cracking Course
Good little course. Sensibly laid out with holes that give the amateur golfer a chance for par.
In really good condition with a fair bit of variety from the holes too.
Thoroughly enjoyed our round
Nice greens
Nice greens, would like to play it again. It’s very forgiving if you are wild off the tee so no real advantage to playing a straight ball.
Good day at Canmore
The course is enjoyable and in good condition not too long for a veteran like me, only one hole I really didn’t like was 11th totally blind second shot over a hilloc then a gully needs somebody walking ahead to watch the ball but all in all well worth £23 on a Saturday
great condition
great greens
fantastic divot free fairways
moderate tees
Maybe needs a few more directional signs on the course for visitors
