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.

Lovely course

Lovely course with a good balance of scoring chances and tough tests. All the greens are an excellent condition, there are a few sneaky bunkers to catch you out along the way.

Gem amongst the big guns

Heard little about scoonie, but from what I had heard it always gets a little overshadowed by it’s neighbours (leven thistle & leven links) . Despite this, really enjoyed my round here. Sadly only 9 holes were open due to bad weather yet that didn’t dampen (pardon the pun) an enjoyable 9 holes.
The pro in the shop was extremely friendly and was happy for myself to go round as much as I see fit (great customer service)
I enjoyed one of the quirky Par 3s (blind tee shot up onto a mound) and overall a good layout .
Come the dry weather I’ll be returning to see Scoonie in full capacity .
Agin great value for £10 can’t complain…..

Fantastic course

Great course one of the best I’ve played in a while, great layout and still presents a challenge has a real links feel to it. A very busy course so be prepared to wait on tees. We had two groups of four in front playing a scrabble so it took a while but was well worth the wait. Going to play here again as soon as possible great course

Fun course

Really enjoyed our afternoon at Scoonie, not the most difficult of courses or the longest. Greens are decent and the turf is quite links like even though the course is tree lined. Decent pace of play, shame there’s not a bar to enjoy a pint afterwards.

Sun Shone on Scoonie

Had the pleasure of playing the course on a fantastic August afternoon with my son. Pro was very friendly. Course was in excellent condition weather was fabulous. Only downside was that we just missed the food service when we finished the round. Other than that, I would thoroughly recommend. I will definitely be back.

Great value

A nice course with some tricky holes despite being quite short. The course was in good condition although I found the greens to be slow.
The off course facilities seemed quite good with a nice pro shop and quality catering. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
Overall a great little course that is fantastic value. I would recommend if in the area.

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.

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.
