What the club says: The golf course at Aberdour is the unusual combination of a parkland course set close by the sea. It is a wonderful course that lengthens out allowing some room for a slice but with reward to those straight and long. A number of holes run along the shore of the River Forth with views across the Forth to Edinburgh and beyond. From every point on the course the golfer can never fail to be inspired by the nearby picturesque Inchcolm Island and its historic Priory; the panoramic view across the Forth to Edinburgh and the River Forth itself as it stretches out into the North Sea.

Views to die for
Aberdour golf club is an incredible place. Opening with two picturesque par 3s, both of which are intimidating. The lay out of the course is great, it’s short, but challengingThe club house is a fantastic place to dine, and again, views from there are outstanding.
A brilliant new outside seating area will be a great asset when the weather improves

Love it here
This was my 2nd year in a row playing Aberdour after a early morning flight from London for our open week playing golf.This was our 1st round of 6 and arguably my favourite.
What a fantastic wee course.
The views and conditions are as good as it gets.
Me and my 5 friends love it here.
It's soo fun and enjoyable.
They have been about 5/6 times and I can understand why they keep returning as the starting round for the week.
We will play this course every time we come up to Scotland as our opener.
The staff are soo friendly and looked after us.
The food In the bar is great and the views are incredible looking out.
Thanks for making our day and the start of the trip memorable.
See you again soon.

Great little course
A brilliant course to play. Fantastic start with two par 3 holes, 1st looking across Forth Estuary to Edinburgh, then 2nd back across the bay. Very well laid out golf course, with a few demanding par 4s.Views all around the course are incredible, and the course is always well looked after and maintained.
Catering is also great.

Great little track
our 2nd visit her when up in Fife, a great course with loads of interesting holes especially the first 2, If the place has got one flaw its the 18th, a pretty straight forward par 3 which if I had to pick a fault or negative, this would be the only thing as the views are just brill from numerous points around the course, across the firth towards edinburgh.Reviewer Rating

Jewel of A Course
What a stunning little course on the Fife Coast - and fully deserving of the accolades that come its way. Yes, it's only a par-67 with many short holes but the greens more than make up for it! The greens protect the course and provide a true challenge. Add in the stunning scenery and it's a definite "must play" in Fife.(Round played: Sep 2020 - Score: 84 Handicap: 16.7)

Lovely course in a tight setting
A short but very challenging course in a tight setting, some holes are very close together with cross over tees and greens, but still a lovely test to play. Very clever and picturesque par 3's along with some up and down holes make this not as easy as you would think from a short course. Nice shop, lovely clubhouse, excellent food and very friendly staff. A nice dry day for a change made a lovely visit and one I could return to. Greens had just been spiked and sanded so didn't get to see the best of but still enjoyable.(Round played: Sep 2019 - Score: 96 Handicap: 16.7)

Great golf with excellent views over the Forth. Winter course in very good condition utilizing the main greens throughout. Although it's on 5106 yards, it has some challenging holes, particularly the first 9. I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere from the members and staff alike and would certainly recommend to any golfer looking for a pleasant day's golf
