Always assured off a warm welcome in the pro shop, always informative and give good tips and any course issues or things to note. It’s a great track with great views across the Forth. The greens are always in great condition. The fairways are well maintained and the tees are always well looked after, only slight minor criticism is there are winter mats on the yellow tees on the par 3’s, which there aren’t in the Medal or ladies tees, so obviously the yellows are played off most. Always a good scoring course , and I enjoy its location. I like to play this course every time I get a chance

First time playing this course and won’t be my last. Upon arrival I went to pro shop where the pro was nothing short off charming, looked really pleased too welcome me and gave me the choice off three courses to play to make it enjoyable and as I was a single golfer, enjoy a good paced game. I went on the Cowden for the first nine , which starts with a long par 3 , which I parred, but it’s a test and is well designed course with great views. The course is well maintained and it was all summer greens , which for the time off year were in reasonable condition. Onto the second nine and I was put on the Arndean course, which was opened in 1998 , this course is much more driver friendly and is easier to score on than the first nine. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, and will definitely recommend and can’t wait to play again with some Golf mates

St Michael’s is a great course that offers a balance of some tricky Pin positions with a course set up so you can score well, as long as you hit the fairways , drive straight and perform well with the short game. The course is on winter yardages, which gives the golfer that favours the de chambeau style, the chance to drive many of the greens! The par 3 15th is a site to behold and is still one of my favourite Par 3’s I have played. The value for money is excellent and you are always welcomed by the friendly staff in the club house.

I received a phone call early in the morning form the pro shop to say due to the freeze overnight , to say although the course was open, some of the greens were on temporary greens , I really appreciated that and more clubs should do this , very nice touch and made me feel appreciated. Any way having played the course several times before, I knew what to expect. The course has some amazing views , and the mixture of holes are difficult , but some are very much scoring holes. The Summer greens were very good for the time of year, however the Temporary Greens were playable, but were in some odd positions on the fairways, however it was still to get out for a swing and putt.

Burntisland is a great course , with tradition and idyllic views , it really is something everyone must try. The course is in excellent condition, Greens immaculate and fairways are all lined , so looks fantastic. Warm welcome from the pro shop, and everyone I met on course were chatty and friendly.

A great course, that I have had the fortune of playing several times now and it does not disappoint! I had a GolfMate new to the game, so offered him to play here through Golf Now, and he jumped at the chance. The two wonderful par 3’s to start , there really is no where to equal the views on the starting tee, with on a clear day the views of the Firth of Forth, Edinburgh and the Islands, outstanding! The course is difficult in stages , However , is very Course manageable if you select the right club and shot and play the percentages. The greens were in excellent condition and the fairways were lush and easily found , Howe we all bunkers were GUR on the day as we have had several days of rain, but this does not detract from this excellent course. There is always a friendly welcome from the Pro Shop, and although the club house was closed , the shop is well stocked , informative and above all friendly. Aberdour is one of the best courses in Fife In my opinion.

Played with a 2 ball with my friend , and was not disappointed , This is simply a fantastic Golf Course. The course layout and condition for the time of year is outstanding. Some of the holes are breath taken , and have to be seen to be believed. From the start, there is a very good clubhouse with friendly staff and a very good home made food menu. The 1st hole is wide and expansive and then hole after hole there is something to keep your interest and are tricky but very enjoyable. The 15th, 16th and 17th are a fantastic way to finish off this absolute diamond of a course, it really is a must play course!

First time playing this course, and it won’t be my last. I played a 2 ball with my friend and was given a warm welcome from the starter in a well stocked Pro shop, who also gave us a map of the course to aid us and to navigate the course. The first and second hopes are Par 5’s. This is indeed a great way start your round , with large and wide fairways , you can afford. To really open your shoulders and go for it. The tees and fairways are in excellent condition for the time off year , and I even the semi rough,, although wet was quite easy to get out of with a hybrid. We have 2 four balls in front , but was never an issue as the pace of play was extremely good and being our first time playing the course, helped us too know the layout. The greens were again in excellent condition. They were testing , but were consistent pace and you can read them quite well. Highlight was a birdie on the 16th , a 25 feet putt from off the green! The course layout is tricky , however, you always have a chance with your second shot and GIR is a frequent occurrence if you play the percentages. There is plenty signature holes on the course , and the Par 3’s are very challenging, but I found them to be proper Par3’s with the right amount of risk, fortune favours the brave. There are also plenty hidden greens , but the black and white marker poles are a great indicator , and we both drive well all day. I hit a gross 79 on the day , and thoroughly enjoyed the course, and I would go as far too say, it’s now up there as one of the best I have played .

Unfortunately chose the wettest day of the year to play the course. The course was I. Very good condition and is equally tricky and challenging, however, if the weather was better, it would have played even better. I was greeted by the starter and was made very welcome upon arrival. I was offered the use of the locker room , which I find a very good gesture and one that I gladly took. The greens were excellent despite the heavy rain fall. There is a mix off short par 3’s and a par 5 to start. I will definitely play this course again, recommend :-)

I booked a tee time at this 9 hole course that had very good reviews . Firstly , this has a small village feel about it , everyone knows everyone , and there is definitely a feel of an older membership. I was welcomed by the lady in the clubhouse and there was a relaxed atmosphere. The course is in excellent condition and the greens are like carpets, very impressed. The Fairways are well maintained and there is double greens. There is no real hazards , but the flags and tees can cause a bit confusion , as at several holes the tees are different from front nine to back nine, remember this is a 9 hole course. The real issue I have is the fact it’s a 9 hole course, if busy , which it was, it’s hard to get off and as a single golfer, catching up with the 4 ball in front and the 2 ball behind. When you reach the 10th ( the 1st second time) there is the usual thing of who is next up , common on a 9 holes course. In conclusion, it’s another one of the golf course bucket list , but I would prefer to play the next time when quieter .

Not the easiest to find as up a very tight country lane, however , once I arrived I met the pro/starter, who was friendly and welcoming.
The course is in good condition and is testing as it’s quite long and slopes off in different directions. The tees are different front and back 9, which is good as it gives a 9 hole course a variation and makes it feel like a 18 hole course. The greens were good, apart from the 9/18th , which had a moss on the outer green, however this does not detract from a lovely course. The views are wonderful and their is a great mix of hazards, Dog legs and blind greens to test the golfer. Highlight hole is the 6/12th, Forsyths Folley , where you play across a 100 feet gorge from an elevated tee, and a sloping green, some 156 yards, it’s a test! In fact all the par 3’s are difficult.

What a gem of a golf course! This is already become one of my favourite golf courses. I have never played a course with so many hidden greens, amazing Tees and the scenery is awesome , not only in appearance, but in feel and course layout. The Links are next to the beach, with hazards if the ball is not flighted in the correct path. Loads of birdie opportunities and a great par 5 to really go for. I actually went round in 68, 5 over , which for a 19 handicapper , was sensational. The welcome is friendly and the local members on course were knowledgeable and made me feel special. Highly recommend, and this course must be on everyone’s Golf Course Bucket List.

In a nutshell, Fantastic. Having played the Torrance 2 weeks earlier , I knew what to expect from the facilities, which are excellent , however I had a pre conceived idea it was not as good as the Torrance , I was wrong! The course is the best I have ever played. The condition is excellent , the greens were lush and brilliant. This is a links course and on the day the wind was with me , I can only imagine what it would be like on a typical Scottish day! This oozed class and if you play straight and play course management there is much rewards to be taken from this gem of a golf course. Unlike the Torrance , the Kittocks runs along the coastline, the views and setting are spectacular. It’s a long course, and you must avoid the rough at the sides of the fairway at your peril. This has the feel of a PGA golf course and is simply awesome, Highly recommend.

I booked online and received a very warm welcome upon arrival. Everyone was super friendly, and being a visitor, was made to feel at home. The course is in very good condition and is very difficult as it Has very tight fairways and small greens. The members were all present at first tee off , and gave very valuable advise on course layout and hazards. The first 9 was a learning experience, and was difficult, but I set out to have fun, and we did have a good time., it is essential you keep the ball straight , the left side is all out of bounds , so play with caution. The second 9 was easier having already sampled the dangers on the first time round, and I shot a 4 over 38. A fantastic wee course and I totally recommend a visit.

I had the pleasure of playing a 4 ball my friend had won in a competition. Upon arrival we were given a very warm welcome by the guys in the pro shop , even a complimentary bucket of range balls to use for our warm up. The guys I played with both purchased items from the fully stocked pro shop, and although the club house was currently closed , we had the chance to purchase warm bacon rolls. Onto the course! The course is lovely, and is a real challenge. The wind is a major factor, although on the day , the conditions were pretty good. The fairways are tempting with the driver, although I did choose to use a 4 iron of the tee on many holes. There is water hazards on the course and a tempting par 4 which only the brave will take on , being some 260 yards to the Pin, however , you must negotiate the water hazard and thick rough and undergrowth. The only disappointment on the day was the greens. These were full of sand and had no real pace or roll. I think they will improve as the season goes on, however it was a disappointment to say the least. Overall, a beautiful course in a lovely setting, would play again .
