Given its seaside location overlooking picturesque farmland to the north and the Forth Estuary to the south, golfers would expect Scoonie Golf Club to be a traditional links layout but it is actually a parkland course. The stunning views of the surrounding countryside contrast nicely with the views of the sea. Long hitters might be disappointed since the golf course is quite short at 5,494 yards with the longest hole only reaching to 430 yards. It is a tight layout that is tough but fair. Accuracy is a necessity since players can find themselves facing a handful of problems from going even just a little wide. The club proudly boasts well manicured fairways and greens that are maintained to the highest standard. It is because of the excellent conditions that Scoonie Golf Club has garnered quite a following.

Good little test

While short it has all the challenges you need. Great value and the drainage is much improved since the last time I played it. Staff were friendly at the bar afterwards.

Welcoming and friendly

Brilliant round using GN to secure a £7.50 !!! Hot deal . However the course is worth several times that as super condition, no mats and full greens. Some work being done so one hole out of play and winder tees forward but overall great experience and I look forward to playing in the summer.

Definite potential

First time playing and winter golf in Scotland is tricky for courses. It was a dry day but the course was suffering from previous wet weather, so it was really soft and muddy. Also undergoing a lot of maintenance/course improvement. Not unusual at this time of year. Layout is good with some nice mature trees on parkland. Think it will be a different beast in summer and hope to get another opportunity then.

Great wee course

The tees were forward making it a little shorter but still fun. Winter golf with full greens and no need to play off mats. Great day out.

good wee course

if you have the time go for 2 rounds as you can be round in 2 hours at the moment due to mats for teeing, the course is a good bit shorter

The course played well despite the recent heavy rain

We played in the afternoon and there had been 2-3 hours of heavy persistent rain before we went out, and we suffered a heavy downpour halfway around. Despite this the course played well and with the exceptional of a couple of soft spots underfoot it was excellent. The greens were fine and true. Great value and a fun course with suitable challenges without too much difficulties. Will play again.

Unbelievable Value

Hard to believe this James Braid course is available at such great rates. Clubhouse is nothing fancy and after a straight forward opening hole the layout improves. Not sure how well the course plays in wet conditions as some areas were damp. Excellent links-like turf provides very good fairways and greens. Tees not as well maintained but amazed and disappointed to see so many players wandering over them with trolleys. This was even done over first tee by players heading for the car park!!!

A day in the sun

Relatively flat course with the 13th signature hole quite quirky. We enjoyed a good Suuny day as we plotted our way around this course. Not the longest course we have played but really enjoyable. We had a nice welcome from starter and were allowed to start early. It's quite a good alternative to the nearby links course which you will see from time to time as you make your way around. Greens were quite good and ran quite quickly. As stated a really enjoyable course and the wide fairways make it quite easy to get around. The 13th is definitely our favourite hole.

Great course,greens were lovely and great value for money

I first started golf at Scoonie some 60yrs ago,and found it to still be in very good condition. The greens were excellent and it was great to return. Although I'm a member of a private golf club now,, I would certainly return here again, possibly joining the club, as private club fees are rising at an alarmjng rate, and being 74 it would make sense.
