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.

What a great little course for value and layout
We played the Scoonie on a recommendation from friends as we were looking for a practice round locally. Having seen some of the roadside holes numerous times when driving past on our way to St Andrews from previous visits and having played both Lundin and Leven before, we were pleasantly surprised how playable and fun this little course was. We would be hard pressed to find this type of course down south both from a value for money perspective and also from the genuine welcome we received.
This course is great fun and challenging at the same time.The greens were very true and fast.We sould definately play this course again.
Really interesting course and great value for money
We loved coming back to play Scoonies this year. The club pro was really Rivendell, it’s a great corse, really well maintained and amazing value for money compared to its more famous neighbour. Well worth a visit if you’re in Fife.
A great wee course.
The course was playing amazingly. Greens were in the best condition Iv ever seen. Loved playing there can’t wait for the next time.
Course has excellent running greens
Always a good course to play, pace a bit slow today i heard a few groups comment on that too. The greens were running excellent, all in all worth the pennies.
Short, interesting and a bargain.
The course was a wee bit muddy (in March) but the weather had been bad for ages so it could have been much worse. No par 5s so a fairly short course. Plenty of interest though. Wide fairways in the main, tree lined and plenty of bunkers. More interest on a couple of tricky par 3s. A mixture of flattish and hilly holes. Great afternoon out. Very enjoyable. Bargain green fees. Would recommend as a foil to the much more expensive links courses adjacent.
Lovely course
Great course we had a four ball fantastic day weather was great I shot my best score ever a 78 for me that is good as I play off 17 but we all had a great day and will definitely be back soon
Horrendous pace of play
Course held up by member four ball which we were told by other members happens every Saturday. Waited every shot as did the two groups in front of us and gave up on the 12th.
