Lundin Links Golf Club
Golf Road, Lundin Links, Fife, KY8 6BA
Voted No. 110 in the Golf Monthly/HSBC
Top 120 UK Course Rankings - November 2006
Lundin was founded in 1868 and was played over what is known today as The Old Course, a composition of the seaward holes of both Lundin and Leven Links.
As the game grew in popularity ground to the north of the railway was obtained and in 1909 James Braid designed a new course from the original seaside holes and the area acquired from the Montrave Estate. A few modifications to the original layout have been made over the years although the character and splendour of Braid's original design is still very much in force. Lundin is a wonderful course and has hosted Open qualifying on many occasions, in addition to countless regional and national events.
The first five holes are strictly traditional links. Players are then required to cross a defunct railway line and play the nine "new" holes, best described as a hybrid cross between links and parkland. The final four holes revert to the genuine links tradition.
At a shade under 6,400 yards and a par of 71, Lundin Links is not long, but don't be fooled. This is no walk in the park, and the course presents a stern examination of any player's skills. Above all, this is a fun course where you will be confronted by as varied a selection of hazards as can be found on any links.
