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.

First time at Scoonie

Played in the Open Comp on 4 Aug and thoroughly recommend it.

I paid £15 to play a course which should be charging three times this amount. I understand its £18 online to play in the afternoons which is just brilliant value for money.

Its undulating at times and not long with each hole being different. Its quite quirky in places too and the rough was quite challenging.

Overall the course was in great condition - greens especially so nothing but compliments from me. Some good views across the Forth estuary on some holes as well.

Ample car parking and everyone in the clubhouse I met (bar staff, pro, members and some non golfing visitors) were really friendly.

If you are in the area then I recommend you book for a great 3 hours round Scoonie.

I saw there is a Open Scramble in mid Sep so book and bring your pals. Its great fun.

Unexpected surprise

Stayed locally and played a few of the typical (and considerably more expensive) courses. Booked Scoonie on a complete whim having driven past it a few times between Leven and Lundin. What a brilliant surprise. First hole doesn’t fill you with much hope but once you get into the round it’s a great knock, especially considering the cost. Definitely recommend!

Very enjoyable short course, superb layout

Thoroughly enjoyed this shortish par 67 (69 ladies) course. It runs alongside the more well known Leven links course so many holes share the same views over the sea. The course is in excellent condition and especially good greens, Very friendly staff in the clubhouse. Some tricky holes. For the price paid I was extremely impressed so would definitely recommend a good value round here.

Scoonie little park course gem

Gem amongst the big guns

Heard little about scoonie, but from what I had heard it always gets a little overshadowed by it’s neighbours (leven thistle & leven links) . Despite this, really enjoyed my round here. Sadly only 9 holes were open due to bad weather yet that didn’t dampen (pardon the pun) an enjoyable 9 holes.

The pro in the shop was extremely friendly and was happy for myself to go round as much as I see fit (great customer service)

I enjoyed one of the quirky Par 3s (blind tee shot up onto a mound) and overall a good layout .

Come the dry weather I’ll be returning to see Scoonie in full capacity .

Agin great value for £10 can’t complain…..
