St. Michaels Golf Club

For the time of year after much rain in good condition a nice little track small greens good short game required

Their front nine of this course are in the open, rolling hills with wide fairways but beware going into the rough, as you leave the 11th you enter into the trees and these become a hazard for the wayward golfer, though the fairways are not narrow here either so if you stay on course you are fine. The 15th is a tricky short one, too short and you roll back down a steep hill, too long and you risk hitting the Aberdeen-Kings cross train! Although this is not too daunting a course for a beginner - I played it first when still very much a novice - it is still a challenge for a more seasoned player. Prices are reasonable for a round, the staff are friendly as are other golfers. It is a smaller club so the course is rarely busy, outwith a competition. A lovely course that I would recommend to anyone visiting St Andrews, which is a mere few miles away.

Played this course today and as a beginner found it interesting and really chuffed that I played my best round ever. Played in the afternoon, so the course was fairly quiet. Staff and members were really helpful and friendly, even the poor guy that was playing begins us!

Excellent course to play when in the St Andrews area with a good variety of holes. Some holes with “extra” challenge such as the 16th. Usually in very good condition. Could do with a bit of rain to lush it up a bit but on the other hand the good run on the ball was very welcome.

Wanted to just nip round the back nine in as short a time as possible. It only took me 75 minutes so I was very satisfied with that.

The winter layout wasn’t my favourite thing, I much prefer the full length layout.

That said the course was in a 7 out of 10 condition which is ok after the rain locally over the Autumn.

Course was pretty quiet so no issues on pace of play, work had been carried out on the greens so putting was a bit of a lottery.

Front 9 very open and modern, back 9 more woodland and traditional not to mention tricky. Great fun to play and a lovely contrasting challenge between front and back 9's.

Yes who needs St Andrews when you have this little gem next to Leuchars!

Up from Norfolk with my sons and played this course today for the second time in a week.

Great value, very friendly helpful staff even gave us the back nine again for free so 27 holes played today!

Course is in fantastic condition & each hole asks questions & very testing .

Will be returning next year.....

First time playing this course, loved it. Course was very dry due to the long hot summer so got a great run. Greens were in good condition. Got round very quickly as a single player. Would recommend this course and would play again.

Loved playing here. Recent hot weather meant ball was running for miles. Hard holes in back 9 made my stableford points not so good! Would recommend playing here.

Like most courses at present fairways are burnt to a crisp and the ball just keeps running. A different kind of challenge. However greens are still excellent and course enjoyable as usual with great views over to St Andrews.

As usual, staff and members very friendly.

Outing in front slowed things down a little but not frustratingly so.

If you’re in the area, this is a great “alternative” to all the Links.

Good layout with plenty interesting holes. Very dry as would be expected at this time with no rain for 3 weeks but course and greens in good condition. Always enjoyable.
