About
Dunnikier Park Golf Club is an 18-hole course located in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, 30 miles north of Edinburgh and 20 miles south of St. Andrews. Formed in 1963, the golf course has evolved over the years.
Dunnikier is 6,546 yards with a par of 72. The Lomond Hills serve as a backdrop on several holes, providing a stunning view. The front nine is in secluded woodland, while the back nine gets you out into civilization.
Dunnikier Park Golf Club's signature hole is No. 7, called "The Dip," a 368-yard par 4. The fairway disappears into a dip and then rises to the green. It's not just challenging, it's the best looking hole, too. It doesn't get much easier on No. 8, named "The Deception." The 383-yard par 4 is uphill all the way. Avoid the fairway bunkers with your drive then carry over the bunkers protecting the green.
No. 9 and 12 are two of the four par 5s and the two longest holes. Nine is 547 yards. Hit just an average tee shot, and you are in good position for a second shot over the hill. Twelve is monstrous at 597 yards. If you play off the "Tiger Tee," it's a ridiculous 650-yard hole. Make sure you hit if long, though. If your drive is short, you might not even make it to the ladies tee, the hole is THAT long.
A major extension and refurbishment was carried out to the clubhouse in 2001. It was upgraded to modern standards. New locker rooms and visitor changing facilities were added. The main lounge can seat over 100 guests, and dress is casual except for Saturday nights when there is a strict dress code after 8 p.m.
Kirkcaldy is one of the largest towns in Fife and has a history of tourism. Visitors are always welcomed at the club.

Great course
Beautiful condition great layout toilet after the ninth. Clubhouse wasn’t open though so not sure on that. Would rec and return
Hidden Gem
What a nice surprise. Wonderful course in good condition.
My only issue was the “blind” shots. I like to know where I am going and see the hole.
All in all a great day out. Will be back.
Course was great until we were stuck behind a young kid who was being accommodated by his non playing dad I presume. There was no indication that we could play through and we had to ask to play through after waiting on the majority of the front 9 holes. I fully understand that youngsters need to play but it does not seem that this is the right environment for a junior golfer to play on his own with someone who is totally unaware that others are waiting. .
A good track that could be great!
Played on Friday 28th May, first time playing in the summer. Course was in good condition despite what has been a challenging spring. The tees, fairways and greens were good just needing another week of good weather.
I think this layout has potential though, continued investment in drainage and green keeping equipment could see this course become a real gem.
Good overall course
Course was decent considering the poor start to the year weather wise. Greens a little bumpy and uneven but overall course is in decent condition. Well worth the £15 on golf now.
Winter Greens !!
first 9 was great.
No one said it was winter greens on back 9.
Drove the 10th over the hill (blind)
Got to the top of the hill to realise we had both out drove the winter green by 100 yards!
Not good.
Green conditions looked great but were closed.
Ruined the round to be honest
Good course, but really disappointed today
Winter course
Turned up at the course today but nobody told it was a full winter course, tees, and greens only found out after the first hole on meeting someone else who wasn't a member and had paid the full fee's, not impressed, not a single member on the course it should have been closed as standing water everywhere and some holes were unplayable, so we walked off after 9 they could have phoned us to tell us, we would have changed the day
Excellent day out
Course was in excellent condition. Greens had been cored in areas but not around the pins which was really good. Joining next year
