Scoonie Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

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.
What a great little course for value and layout
We played the Scoonie on a recommendation from friends as we were looking for a practice round locally. Having seen some of the roadside holes numerous times when driving past on our way to St Andrews from previous visits and having played both Lundin and Leven before, we were pleasantly surprised how playable and fun this little course was. We would be hard pressed to find this type of course down south both from a value for money perspective and also from the genuine welcome we received.
Lovely course
Great course we had a four ball fantastic day weather was great I shot my best score ever a 78 for me that is good as I play off 17 but we all had a great day and will definitely be back soon
Horrendous pace of play
Course held up by member four ball which we were told by other members happens every Saturday. Waited every shot as did the two groups in front of us and gave up on the 12th.
Warm welcome , lovely course and great value
The booking on App worked easily and we were welcomed warmly by Steve the pro and he gave us some local knowledge before we set off. My wife and I completed our 18 holes comfortably in less than three hours. The course is compact and had a good flow to it. There were some beautiful views of the Firth of Forth and the holes were challenging enough. Good shots and decisions were rewarded.The staff in the clubhouse were also very friendly. We loved our experience at Scoonie Golf Club and will be returning for more. Congratulations to the Fife Golf Trust…Scoonie is a little gem!
Nice wee round
Tight wee course, good fun, and some good challenges
Lovely Sunday afternoon round of golf
Perfect weather for a round of golf. Some very minor issues with one or two of the tees and greens but nothing that spoiled my enjoyment of the course. These are probably due to the hot weather this summer.
Looking forward to playing again soon.
There is nothing not to like about this course.
Note a long course and quiet flat. First time playing this course and we would like to come back. The pro and the members were very helpful and courteous. The course was in good condition a bit dry but very playable considering we are experiencing a drought.
The food was freshly made, quickly served and reasonable priced. Raspberry cheesecake amazing.
Excellent venue for golf and food
We really enjoyed returning to Scoonie after a gap for several years. The course was in excellent condition, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The plus was the addition of catering and very good food.
We’ll be back.
