About
St. Michael's Golf Club sits atop Gallow Hill, providing spectacular views past the River Eden to the historic buildings of St. Andrews. The course sprawls across a prehistoric settlement that is protected by Historic Scotland. The terrain is an interesting mix of wooded parkland and undulating heathland with a well-draining sandy base. The golf course features small greens and narrow fairways that place a premium on accuracy. While it may not have the prestige or the classic links layout of St. Andrews, St. Michael's Golf Club offers just as formidable a test. The challenges begin immediately on the first hole, an uphill par 4 with a fairway that slopes right to left. St. Michael's signature hole is the par-3 15th, which many consider to be the most demanding short hole in Fife. There is a large dip to the left and rear of the green, a bunker to the front right, and out-of-bounds to the left and on the railway line behind.

The 15th Par 3 Photo submitted by BJK77 on 10/14/2020
Cracker of a course!
We booked this a couple of days before we played and got a fabulous hot deal of £26.99 each. Loved the small clubhouse and friendly staff, wished we’d arrived earlier to sample the pie,beans and chips!
The golf course was in great condition and very playable though there are some tricky holes and gorse bushes to gobble up a stray shot.
Would definitely recommend.
Brilliant golf course
Great golf course lots of parking spaces.
Staff we're very friendly in club house and the green keepers all spoke and told us the greens were running very fast . Hard working also seen plenty of them throughout and all spoke and acknowledged us
Some holes are challenging. .
after our round we enjoyed some lunch burgers,toasties and I even got a free cake as it was my birthday excellent service and great value for money all round can't wait to play again soon .
Hills
Got there early. Had a cold beer inside… putting green right out front.
No starter no ranger. Was put with another twosome (not golfers). Slow play just kept looking for balls two fairways over. Let lots of players play thru …5 hour round….
Club house locked up at 6:00
Just right for me
I had heard it was hilly, so I was a little concerned.
I opted to take a pull trolley and managed fairly well.
Greens were very good and faster than I was use to.
Great views.
The greenkeepers had worked very hard to get the course in great shape. I really enjoyed it.
St Michael's Golf Club
St Michael's is a good community course which over the years has gone from a 9 hole course to an 18 hole course today. They are very different 9's and a very good challenge. Well worth the visit and price.
Wednesday evening solo play
Booked this course after looking around and speaking to some of my work colleagues.
The staff are friendly when you enter and they have a decent sized clubhouse. If you’re after some balls they offer 4 used for £1 that all goes to charity - great idea.
The course played well with enough space for some wild drives - I seemed to have an issue today with getting off the tee. Greens are in good condition and most are elevated.
The front 9 I think is easier than the back 9 with a great par 3 played from high up with a monster bunker waiting for you if you’re short.
Overall I’d strongly recommend this course - I only paid £20 for a 16:30 tee time.
Great short course
Great short course, staff very freindly. Members are very welcoming and helpfull. We played and it was a wee bit windy, the fees could be better, but when most courses are playing winter greens the full greens were a delight, if a bit faster than most winter greens.
Happy with the condition
Played of winter mats, the course was in pretty good condition and the greens were in good condition
Not bad
Course in great condition, and good for a beginner. The pace of place was really slow and some of the golfers wouldn't let you play through
Amazing round
Beautiful course amazing views and some pretty tough holes
A course with some very interesting holes
We were a 4 ball, playing pace was good. Superb back 9 15 16 17 superb golfing test. Overall we really enjoyed our day. Will return
Great par 3s
The back 9 is my favourite with a number of par 3s including their signature elevated par three looking onto the railway.
