Lundin Golf Club
Lundin Golf Club is a par-71 links on the Firth of Forth at Lundin Links, about 25 minutes from St Andrews. Its present 18 holes, shaped with James Braid, were completed in 1909, and it hosted Final Qualifying for The Open for many years. Visitors can book tee times online.
The course and its character
The club was founded on 8 May 1868 and revived in 1889. James Braid visited in March 1908 and the new 18-hole course was completed in autumn 1909. The layout has changed little since: the first five holes run along the shore in classic links style to the Mile Dyke, the next nine cross the old railway line on to Braid's holes, and the last four return to pure links. At 6,371 yards and par 71 from the back tees it is not long, but open burns, an internal out of bounds and strategic bunkering keep it testing.
Booking and visitor practicalities
Visitor tee times can be booked online through the club's booking system, and the secretary handles enquiries by email or phone. Buggies and push and electric trolleys can be hired from the pro shop; book them in advance. The clubhouse has a bar and catering with views over the Firth of Forth.
Getting there and nearby
Lundin Links is on the A915 coast road between Leven and Upper Largo, roughly 25 minutes' drive south-west of St Andrews. Leven Links shares the same stretch of coast, and Elie is a short drive east.
