About
If you're looking for stately history and lore in your Scottish golf, don't look at Cowdenbeath Golf Club. Built in 1988, it certainly doesn't have the seniority of St. Andrews, but it makes up what it lacks in gravitas with character and charm.
Located six miles east of Denfermline, Cowdenbeath Golf Club was built as a nine-hole course on the old Dora Coral mine site (the golf course is still commonly known as "Dora"). Cowdenbeath was ready for play in 1991 and extended to 18 holes in 1996. The length is now 6,207 yards.
It's a parkland layout with, what its Web site describes as, "gentle undulations and tree-lined fairways." The site also boasts that Cowdenbeath is a "challenge for both high and low handicappers."
The golf course features only three par 3s, but also only one par 5, No. 17, a 526-yard beast. The longest par 4 is No. 8 at 428 yards.
The clubhouse at Cowdenbeath Golf Club opened in 1998.

Winter greens!
Course was sodden although given recent weather can’t really fault the club for that. I was disappointed however to turn up for my round at 11.15 to find out that the decision was made at 8am to switch to winter greens despite the good forecast and having went round the greens were the best thing about the whole course in terms of condition so that was disappointing. Likely be back back not until the summer.
Great parkland course!
Thoroughly enjoyed my round at Cowdenbeath. The course is very challenging for me. I was very impressed that it was still open and playable after all the rain we had this winter so far.
Play was a little slow, strange because they were only two players but were about three holes behind the group in front (4 ball).
The staff and other golfers were very friendly and helpful. The clubhouse was closed by the time finished (it was Christmas Eve mind you 😁
Will be back soon
Very impressed.
Excellent value for money. Played here many years and was OK, but now was very impressed with how it has matured and its overall condition.
