Golf courses in Fife

Fife is where golf was born. St Andrews, the spiritual home of the game, has been played on these links for over 600 years. The Old Course at St Andrews is the most iconic golf course on earth, its double greens, hidden bunkers, and ancient stone bridges familiar to golfers worldwide.

The Open Championship has been held at St Andrews more than any other venue, producing unforgettable moments from Bobby Jones to Tiger Woods. Beyond the Old Course, the St Andrews Links complex includes the New, Jubilee, Eden, and Castle courses, while nearby Kingsbarns and the Duke's Course offer modern classics.

Fife's coastline - the "East Neuk" - features a string of outstanding links including Crail (the seventh oldest club in the world), Elie, Lundin Links, and Leven. The terrain is quintessential Scottish links: firm turf, sea breezes, and that unmistakable connection to golf's origins. Summer offers the best weather and longest days, but the links play beautifully in autumn's golden light.
