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.

Great experience at Aberdour

Fantastic little course, starts with two incredible par 3s. Views are unbelievable. Clubhouse sits on an incredible site with magical views. The greens are always great to putt on, and course is always well tended.
Great course for outings, easily get two rounds in a long summers day, with incredible food in the clubhouse.

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.

Keep it straight and be good on par threes

A visual treat, lots of spectacular views over the water.
Keep it straight and avoid the thick rough and OOBs
Greens and fairways were in great condition
Friendly place

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.

Hidden gem in amongst the many in Fife

Nice course, very pretty setting around the Firth of Forth, with the early holes running alongside and across it... good test of golf although only par 67, with the stroke index 1, par 4, 8th being a tester for anyone.

Starts well then fades

Picturesque and interesting start but course deteriorates through the gap to the 'new holes'. Back 9 a bit bland. Greens inconsistent.

Great course, friendly welcome

Not long, but challenging. Slightly intimidating start with the first two holes. Thereafter, every hole is different, some forgiving, some not. With views across the river Forth giving a superb backdrop.
The green staff have provided a course in very good condition

Great little course

Great little Course in Fife. Two par 3s to start, but not easy. Lots of tricky holes, brilliant to play, par 67.
Great food in clubhouse as well.

Great scenic golf course

Great little golf course, fair but challenging. Some new bunkers added to 13th and 14th hole add to the enjoyment and playability of this little gem.

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
