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.

A lovely parkland course

Thoroughly enjoyed this well layed out parkland course. A good variety of holes with fairly wide tree lined fairways. Excellent value for money, run by the Fyfe golf trust.

Great value

At £13 this was a great deal. Course was in good condition for April. Good variety in length of holes and some very good par 3s.
Would definitely return.

Pleasantly surprised

Had been told good things about Dunnikier Park but had never gotten around to teeing it up, arrived at the course and spoke to the starter in the shop (Sorry didn't get his name) he was pleasant, friendly and very professional. He pointed me in the direction of the 1st tee and off I went. I picked the windiest day of the year by far! 50 mph winds which made it a big test of golf! There were a good number of winter greens and I had to play off winter tees too which I hate but I know they're required. I liked the layout of the course but would love to play it in the summer in true conditions. Very good value for money and overall I really enjoyed my day, shot 9 over par which I was happy with giving weather conditions! Can't wait to be back, although I'll check the weather forecast beforehand 😁

Winter @Dunnikier

Cracking course. Great layout. Probably the best of all the Fife Trust courses. Course condition was as expected at this time of year. Bit soggy underfoot and a few winter greens being used. This did not bother us at all. Still a great course to play.

Really Good condition

Played the course late in the day, the course was in excellent condition considering it had been raining for about 4 days during the week
Greens were receptive but rolled well and at a nice pace, the layout of this course is one of the best in fife
with some really nice challenging holes.
Will be back soon as I thoroughly enjoyed the round
