Lundin Golf Club: Located to the east of Leven Links Golf Course, and separated from it by a small stream at Mile Dyke, Lundin Golf Club possesses more undulation and a more varied layout than its neighbour.
The first four holes spectacularly hug the impressive line of dunes found closest to the seashore. Wonderfully elevated tee-boxes on these early holes offer spectacular views onto the Firth of Forth and across to the Lothian coast on the other side. At the far end of the course the short and fiercely bunkered par-3 5th rubs shoulders with another short, fiercely bunkered par-3 5th, its twin on the Leven Links golf course.
On the remaining front-nine holes and most of the back-nine you'll experience a classic links layout, complete with occasional water ditches, excellent bunkering and firm, fast greens. Part of the back-nine however makes a brief diversion into a more parkland style environment, starting with the uphill par-3 12th.
The immensely scenic (as far as views are concerned) and partly tree-lined par-5 13th takes you along an elevated ridge perched above a steep grassy bank. A spectacular plunge awaits at the good-length par-3 14th, which connects you to the wonderful four-hole closing stretch which runs straight through the centre of the course amidst classic links golf terrain.
Visitors welcome on weekdays; more restricted on weekends.
Must book in advance. Proof of handicap not required, but this is not a beginners' course; you must be able to play to a reasonable standard.

The history of Lundin GC is inextricably linked to its neighbour, Leven Links. The Leven course originally comprised 9-holes, which were extended to 18 in 1868 by adding 9 holes to the east of Mile Dyke (a small stream). The new course now connected the towns of Leven and Lundin Links.
With the Leven players starting at the western end of the course and Lundin players at the eastern end, and with golf growing in popularity through the 1890s, the inevitable result was a heavily congested course. In 1907 the decision was taken to create two separate 18-hole courses. The original 9-holes that lay west of Mile Dyke were extended inland to create the 18-hole Leven course. The easterly nine was also extended inland, forming today's Lundin links.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
