Dunnikier Park Golf Club
About
Dunnikier Park Golf Club is an 18-hole course located in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, 30 miles north of Edinburgh and 20 miles south of St. Andrews. Formed in 1963, the golf course has evolved over the years.
Dunnikier is 6,546 yards with a par of 72. The Lomond Hills serve as a backdrop on several holes, providing a stunning view. The front nine is in secluded woodland, while the back nine gets you out into civilization.
Dunnikier Park Golf Club's signature hole is No. 7, called "The Dip," a 368-yard par 4. The fairway disappears into a dip and then rises to the green. It's not just challenging, it's the best looking hole, too. It doesn't get much easier on No. 8, named "The Deception." The 383-yard par 4 is uphill all the way. Avoid the fairway bunkers with your drive then carry over the bunkers protecting the green.
No. 9 and 12 are two of the four par 5s and the two longest holes. Nine is 547 yards. Hit just an average tee shot, and you are in good position for a second shot over the hill. Twelve is monstrous at 597 yards. If you play off the "Tiger Tee," it's a ridiculous 650-yard hole. Make sure you hit if long, though. If your drive is short, you might not even make it to the ladies tee, the hole is THAT long.
A major extension and refurbishment was carried out to the clubhouse in 2001. It was upgraded to modern standards. New locker rooms and visitor changing facilities were added. The main lounge can seat over 100 guests, and dress is casual except for Saturday nights when there is a strict dress code after 8 p.m.
Kirkcaldy is one of the largest towns in Fife and has a history of tourism. Visitors are always welcomed at the club.

Enjoyable Day
Overall the condition and layout of the course is good but there we a few small issues with the course that slightly soured my round.
at least 3 times in the round I had to play out of divots in the fairways, and also had to repair numerous pitch marks on the greens . These issues are nothing to do with the maintenance staff as the rest of the grounds were well maintained and more on the users of the course.
I also will not complain about the greens which have recently been cored as I know that this is essential maintenance but if playing anytime soon just be aware.
Finally broke 90!
Course in good nick and played well. Wind got up at some points to add that wee bit of further difficulty.
Challenge course
The course was in surprisely good condition considering it was end of March and the high amount of foot traffic.
The only downside was it was still playing winter tee mats, but understandable.
play dunnikier
one of the best golf courses under the Fife Golf Trust. very good signals you never get lost, wide fairways, greens in very good condition and the paramount is beautiful. Is one of the prettiest golf courses in Fife. You will enjoy it.
Only downside...the clubhouse closes too early, so be aware on that.
Dunnikier must be played
Excellent layout, wide fairways, very well kept greens, one of the best course of the Fife trust.
The grass is coming back after so much radiation.
Remarkable value for money
Excellent course, in good condition. Greens were lovely. Play moves along well.
Staff were very welcoming and helpful.
In summary, a beautiful parkland golf course which will challenge all levels of player.
Sunny 26°c didn't detract from a good day on course.
A true find
Great little course - quite easy but in great shape
Excellent course with a good range of holes, challenging but fun.
It’s a great course I unfortunately was stuck behind a competition group who were very slow but apart from that played this course before and it’s well kept got good greens and nice layout and was only £17 on a hot deal so can’t complain too much
Really enjoyed the course
We played 8 holes one day and returned the following for a full round. Thoroughly enjoyed the course.
Dunnikier
Staff really friendly and great practice facilities. Personal preference but the amount of blind shots was mildly frustrating. Assume it will be a lovely parkland course in summer.
Very nice course , would have liked a map of the course as because of winter tees some tees were difficult to find .. the clubhouse was closed and we were looking forward to a coffee and cakes however enjoyed the day , the course is in very good condition
Great
Great course for the price, staff is very friendly. Will continue to go
