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.

Excellent municipal golf course

Fife Golf Trust should be commended for such a good golf course. The fairways were in very good condition as were the greens. Other players on the course, predominantly locals, were friendly and helpful. A most enjoyable round of golf and despite all of us being fairly local and links golfers, we would certainly go back to this pleasant parkland course. Well done Scoonie.

Gets your golf back in shape

Great course to get your golf back in shape.Challenging but not overly difficult.Disappointed today with slow play caused by golfers not following or knowing what to do to go at an acceptable pace

Lovely little course,

Great wee course,a wee bit boggy as to be expected after all the recent rain ,only thing that spoils it is that there are still no markers on the tee to give distance n hole number which is annoying as this situation has been dragging on for a long time now.

Testing course typical link conditions

Course was in;superb condition the weather was kind despite forecast but the wind made it a bit more difficult, we played a two ball, but the four ball in front tended to slow us down and probably the rest of the course despite some attempts from us to let us play through they played on. So, slow play as side ld play Scoonie again and again.

Good condition for February

The course was well presented despite the time of year and recent rainfall. The greens were good albeit slow and all the tees were forward.

Got round in 2hrs 33 mins which is a new 18 hole record for me in a 2 ball.

I won’t rush back but I will be back at some point during the summer.

Once again a great day at Scoonie. The only downside was not being able to relax in the clubhouse after the round with a glass of the Amber nectar due to Govt Covid restrictions.
