About
Thornton Golf Club sprawls across an expanse of wooded parkland bounded by the River Ore. The course is mostly flat, making it easy to walk but don't let the lack of elevation deceive you. The golf course provides challenges for all skill levels, it especially tests players who have a tendency to hook their shots. The river comes into play on the par-3 14th hole, which is the first of a set of five demanding holes. Despite being some of the shortest holes on the course, they are actually the most challenging. Long hitters will have to be careful on these finishing holes. The final hole is longer than most of the course's short par 4s but it is more straightforward. In addition to the interesting round, Thornton Golf Club has built its reputation on the excellently maintained greens.

Great Experience
After a 'late night' away this was the perfect antidote on a Sunday morning as we headed back to Ayrshire. Very welcoming staff and course in great condition and not too taxing on the hangover. Some great little holes amongst the treelined par 4s. Well worth a visit and one I am sure we will visit again on our way home.
Never fails to impress
Hidden gem
Access through a rail tunnel though max height 2.4 meters
Regimental golf. In a 2ball sitting behind a 4 ball the whole game
The course was in great condition. The heat played a part in not liking the day in general, waiting at every tee .
Friendly jewel
Set a beautiful part of Fife this beautiful kept golf course and it’s friendly staff are just what golfers need. It suits all kinds of handicap. Please give it a try.
Thornton
Course is in good condition considering the bashing it received from recent storms.
The new greens staff are putting in a fantastic effort to get the course back in shape.
It shouldn’t take them too long now the sun is shining.
Anyway, had a great game with friends and no major complaints.
Highly recommend
Played here on Friday.
Course was in good condition despite the time of year. There was a few mats on Tee boxes and mandatory use of mats in the fairways. Worth it to have the course in the best possible condition for the start of the season. Greens were fast and true.
Hopefully the club will have bar and catering services soon, missed having a post round pint and something to eat.
Overall great value for money and would highly recommend a round here.
Excellent course a hidden gem
Loved the course shot my best score to date, 76 and the conditions were excellent greens rolling fast and tee boxes filled with sand and feed exactly how they should be
