About the course
The course runs along the southern shore of Fife with the Firth of Forth to the south and the East Neuk countryside to the north. The front nine plays through flatter, more sheltered ground, while the back nine climbs to higher links land with views across to Edinburgh, the Bass Rock and North Berwick Law. The Lundin Standing Stones — three Bronze Age megaliths — stand between the 3rd and 4th fairways, a scheduled ancient monument that predates the course by several thousand years.
At around 6,400 yards from the medal tees, Lundin Links is a proper test of links golf. The greens are firm and true, the fairways fast-running, and the wind off the Forth is a constant companion. It is one of Fife's best-kept secrets — the quality of the conditioning rivals its more famous neighbours at a fraction of the cost and without the crowds.
The drive from Edinburgh
Edinburgh to Lundin Links takes around 90 minutes via the M90 and Forth Road Bridge, then south through the Fife countryside. The route is straightforward and scenic, passing through Glenrothes and Leven before reaching the coast. Your driver will manage the route while you relax — no unfamiliar roads or parking to worry about.
