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.

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.

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…..

Fantastic course

Great course one of the best I’ve played in a while, great layout and still presents a challenge has a real links feel to it. A very busy course so be prepared to wait on tees. We had two groups of four in front playing a scrabble so it took a while but was well worth the wait. Going to play here again as soon as possible great course
