Scoonie Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

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.
Great value
Lovely course in nice condition. Some interesting holes and a good layout. Got a great deal through golfnow.
Scoonie little park course gem
First time we’ve played Scoonie and it is for sure not the last time. What a nice course. Friendly staff. The starter has worked in the Netherlands as well and informed us about everything. Course in perfect condition. We can recommend this course.
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…..

Thank you !!!
Great course excellent value
Played scoonie and found it a tremendous wee course and brilliant value. Not difficult and an easy walk, amazing price for a Saturday. Managed by fife golf trust. Staff were very welcoming. The food in the clubhouse was first class, well worth a visit for a great price and very enjoyable course. Definitely go back.
Good value
An interesting course. Some tricky Par 3's. Good value for money. Lovely views of the coastline from the highest point. Definitely will have a return visit.
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
Great for new or experienced pkayers
This really is value for money and a fantastic course, the back 9 has views that will slow down your play admiring them!
easily becoming my favourite course.
Well presented
Typical parkland course in very good condition, The views were excellent looking over the forth coastline. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Fun course
Really enjoyed our afternoon at Scoonie, not the most difficult of courses or the longest. Greens are decent and the turf is quite links like even though the course is tree lined. Decent pace of play, shame there’s not a bar to enjoy a pint afterwards.
Sun Shone on Scoonie
Had the pleasure of playing the course on a fantastic August afternoon with my son. Pro was very friendly. Course was in excellent condition weather was fabulous. Only downside was that we just missed the food service when we finished the round. Other than that, I would thoroughly recommend. I will definitely be back.
Nice friendly course
Played in the afternoon for £11 each. Great value and the staff were friendly and helpful. Course in lovely condition although greens were only average. Course was pretty busy but moved along well with little waiting on any hole.
Great value
A nice course with some tricky holes despite being quite short. The course was in good condition although I found the greens to be slow.
The off course facilities seemed quite good with a nice pro shop and quality catering. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
Overall a great little course that is fantastic value. I would recommend if in the area.
