Links and history at its finest
WHAT A COURSE! This is a course offering views, quirks, a test and the opportunity to play a fantastic links golf course.First up there are some quirks but that makes it part of the charm. The opening hole is played up and over a hill and to check if you are okay to tee off you can access the periscope in the pro shop to look down the first fairway. There are also several holes where tees and greens are in close proxomity but again this just adds to the experience by coming into contact with fellow golfers out on the course. The 10th also provides a blind tee shot with its own quirks but once over the top of the hill you are presented with some outstanding views which continue once you turn back and play 11, 12 and 13. On a clear down you might even see across to East Lothian and the likes of North Berwick.
There are no par 5s but with some long par 4s, Elie provides a good mix and variety of holes and it was a joy to play this charming course.
We played late in the evening in Summer 2022 with the course running true and fast and slight wind providing enough to make you think but not too much to cause problems. Clearly this course could be a test when the wind is really up.
Finally, don't worry if you plan to play in shorts and see online about the need to wear knee length socks - this rule was changed back in 2020/2021. However, I'm pretty sure if you do play and play in shorts you will very likely wish you were wearing long socks - this is one of the charms of the course and makes it what is is.
Highly recommended and a must play if you visit Fife for golf and looking for somewhere on the southern coast. To reuse a phrase, Scotland and this part of Scotland, is quite simply 'Golf Country'.

Wow, Wow, Wow.
Go play here. I promise you wont regret it.Historic, quirky, raw, golf - in particular - links golf is supposed to be just like this.
A few shorter par 4s are really fun. Some blind tee shots but very well markered (both middle and edge of fairways) and classic bumps and hollows everywhere.
The stretch around the turn is quite simply magestic. The views are stunning and its just one of the best places to play golf.

Lovely day
Fantastic course, staff were very friendly and helpful and the course was a delight to play, thankfully without too much wind as there are several blind shots which local knowledge would definately have been helpful on. Really enjoyed the day.Reviewer Rating

Fun Course, Great Condition
Played Elie twice now this year Jan & Feb and have to say you wouldn’t find a course in better condition anywhere at this time of the year.Staff are friendly, they were kind enough to reschedule a 4 ball for us due to severe winds which made the course unplayable and made the rescheduling process simple.
Well worth £47 a round.

Must play course
Great views, nice mix of holes, undulating, scenic, great condition.....add in the quirkiness of the periscope in the starters hut & having to wear long socks if playing in shorts, that was Elie. And on a Saturday afternoon teeing off at 3:30 we had the place to ourselves.Reviewer Rating
