Lochgelly Golf Club
About
Lochgelly Golf Club is a relatively flat parkland course with views over the Meadows, the Lomonds and the Ochills. The views are worth the price of a round alone. It is located in Fife, Scotland, the heart of golfing country. Visitors have described it as a must-play course when in the area.
The golf course kicks off with a par 5 but only 479 yards. It's the only par 5 on the course and the longest hole at Lochgelly. The course is 2,729 yards, and par is 68.
No. 3 is a par 3, but certainly not a gimme at 222 yards. There are five par 3s on the Lochgelly Golf Club course, spread out liberally, with three on the front nine and two in the back. The back nine ends with a 319-yard par 4.
Lochgelly Golf Club has a pro shop, which is well-stocked by the resident PGA Professional.

Winter golf
Course well maintained,no winter tees or greens after 11am,but due to course design and green designs,there can be alot of surface water which is very slippery even with spiked golf shoes
A challenging course at a good price!!!
A challenging course which will test your golf game at each hole. Very tight and unforgiving if you spray your shots wide. We both really enjoyed the course and locals very friendly. Would recommend giving this course a try. Only 40 minute drive from Dundee.
Great layout
Friendly welcome in pro shop course was in great condition the greens were amazing

Hi there, firstly let me say that I am not one for writing reviews good or bad but myself and my mate have both left this course today with a sour taste in our mouths.
I called this morning and spoke to someone at the club regarding a booking for around 10:30am (it was on the golf now app) and it was £15 and for one golfer. I called and asked if it would be possible if myself and mate could possibly play but was told it was just for one golfer to join a 3 ball already booked. That was fine so we sorted a tea off time for 11.20 for the both of us, I asked how much that would be and was told “£30”. I thought that was good and made sense as it was £15 on the app.
So we travelled 45mins to get there, went into the shop and said to the guy working “I’m here for the 11.20 tee off. How much again”
He said “£20”
Confused I said “I was told it was £30, £15 each?”
He said “no that’s the during the week price”
I wasn’t too fussed at paying £5 extra each.
But whilst I was looking at golf balls to buy, my mate paid his fee to get on and then I went to pay. The guy had put £33 into the machine for me to pay. So I questioned it and he said “yeah that’s correct”
So shocked I just paid. So I paid £30 to play plus £3 for 3 balls. My mate was the same as he’d bought a drink and his fee of £30 as well.
So right from the word go we felt we had been kind of scammed, I was even questioning whether the guy had actually even said £20 when we got there but my mate said the same as me that he definitely said £20. So to be both charged over £30 each when I was originally told £30 for both of us before travelling all the way there was very disappointing to say the least.
Now onto the course. This is the only positive thing I can say about our visit, the course was actually in great condition, seems to be very well looked after.
But and it’s a big but, the course was super congested with players, long waits at every tee, lots of tee offs right next to greens, shared greens and tee offs right next to each other, very slopey/hilly and open to the wind, a lot of holes very narrow and in my opinion dangerous, a lot of blind holes/guess work to be used navigating the fairways. I’ve never played a round and heard people shouting “FORE” so much in my life (others were commenting that you need a crash helmet to play here) and there was one guy that had already been hit with a ball we spoke to, he had blood seeping from the back of his head but he was playing on regardless.
That’s about it really, just really disappointing, I would like to be reimbursed for £30 if I’m being honest as I and my mate feel like we got scammed and it’s left us feeling very bitter today. I feel that £15 per person is actually a fair price to pay if you want an extremely challenging course to try out but £30 each is outrageous.
Like I said I don’t normally review anything and will happily remove my disappointing review if I get reimbursed, all they have to do is contact me and that can be done.
Goog golf course and friendly staff
First time played here and it was good golf course and great value for money. My son enjoy the place walking with me as my caddie.
Great value
A quirky course which is fun and challenging . Not the longest but there are plenty of trees and water hazards to keep you on your toes . Excellent condition for the time of year
Great wee course
Had planned a round at my course but the frosty conditions closed the course, booked Lochgelly at the last minute and headed to the course, got greeted by a lovely lady in the pro shop, she gave me my mat and off I went to the 1st tee, obviously winter greens and mats from the fairway, I was the only one (daft enough) to be on the course the whole round through but I can't wait to be back to play it in the summertime
Bad tempered members
The group behind us kept hitting balls over the top of us
Not giving us time to play our shots, I don’t think 3 hours 30 minutes is slow for a 3 ball. It spoiled our round.
Millionaire’s golf!
We were the last booking at 1:20 on a sunny autumn afternoon. Had the whole course to ourselves! Really enjoyed our round. The course was in great condition. Only complaint would be that there were so many unreplaced divots, it’s really not difficult to pick up your huge piece of turf and put it back on a gaping hole.
Challenging holes & sneaky ponds, would definitely like to play it again. Didn’t use the clubhouse, hence the average rating
All-round great value
Lochgelly was in good condition, it's a really interesting layout that's fun to play. Clubhouse offers great food at very reasonable prices. Would definitely go back.
Lovely scenery, not a great layout
Beautiful course but the entire course seems to be crushed into a space not fit for a full 18holes. There’s some lovely scenery, but there are both shared tee boxes and a shared green, sometimes you’re playing over greens and other fairways. Worth playing however as it is very well maintained and staff are very helpful and friendly. Green keeper does do a good job with the tricky layout.
Excellent course for the money. Great views looking up to hill around Loch Leven & beyond.
