Located on a spectacular stretch of the Fife coast, Dumbarnie Links is Scotland’s newest golf course – and already has a reputation as a ‘must-play’ golfing destination.

Although golf’s been played on the sandy grasslands at Dumbarnie for centuries, Dumbarnie Links has only been open for five years. The first tee shot was struck on May 29, 2020 and since then, golfers from near and far have been experiencing the wonderful challenge of playing a top-rated golf course which follows the traditional links layout but with a modern twist. 

Designed by internationally-acclaimed golf architect Clive Clark, playing a round at Dumbarnie is all about enjoying the game in its natural, historic setting: a beautifully-maintained links course overlooking the Firth of Forth. 

 

Hole-by-hole

Our guide to getting the best out of your round

Dumbarnie Links

HOLE 1 PAR 4. S.I. 6

A picturesque opener, the first hole plays from an elevated tee down towards a generous, wide fairway. There are no bunkers in the landing area but that doesn’t mean this is a completely straightforward start. A burn runs down the left hand side and across the front of the green. The temptation is to take an extra club to guarantee you clear it. However, there are two revetted pot bunkers at the back of the green awaiting any over-earnest approaches.

Prepare to play our course

The ethos behind Dumbarnie Links is all about enjoying a great round of golf rather than feeling beaten up by the experience.

My first piece of advice would be to take the course on – accept the challenge of playing on the world’s 247th ‘true links’ course.

Focus on driving the ball well. If you can, hit off the tee with the driver onto the centre of our generous fairways.

Make the most of your time on the world’s 247th ‘true links’ course. Dumbarnie Links will offer you the chance to hit some fun shots and, hopefully, make some birdies and tap-in pars.

Making the most of our facilities

Our Clubhouse

With views overlooking the Firth of Forth, you will certainly want to settle in before and after your round (or simply drive out for a visit) to enjoy the stunning scenery.

The Old Barn offers a casual and delicious selection of traditional fare as well as some unique creations not typically seen in many golf clubhouses. A full bar offering is also available, including bespoke Dumbarnie draft beer and lager from St. Andrews Brewing Company

what golfers say

The course presents a challenging but fair strategic test. On almost every tee, there’s a choice to be made and there are options for negotiating each hole. To me, that makes for a great course.
