What the club says: Glenrothes Golf Course is an eighteen hole course, 5857 metres long (6406 yards) and a par 71. The course occupies a prominent position on the high ground to the west of Glenrothes. Constructed in 1967 it is set in mature parkland and remains in excellent condition throughout the season.

The back nine is challenging with a burn crossing four fairways. The wide fairways offer plenty of opportunities for the long hitters and well-maintained greens allow birdie opportunities to those with a good short game. The course provides enjoyable and challenging golf for enthusiasts at all levels of ability.

Good council run course

The trust who maintain the courses for the council are doing a fantastic job as the course is in great condition and worth a visit if you have never played, word of warning back 9 is very hilly if you struggle with hills this might not be the course for you.

Good challenge but hilly back nine

Enjoyed the course with the 11th and 12th holes - challenging enough with their hilly layouts and stream - being memorable. No holes for putting practice and a slow four-ball in front of us were the only let-downs.

Lovely Course, First 10 holes reasonable flat, back 8 a different matter, Hilly and gullies make it a pleasure to play. Well maintained.

Dog walkers as far as the eye can see. On most holes dog walkers will frequently just wander across fairways

Very nice course with some very interesting holes. Front 9 is pretty straight forward parkland the the second 9 is like you've stepped onto a whole new course with drops and rises of probably about 80 foot. Cracking wee course that I can't wait to play again

What a beautiful golf course. Lush grass and really pleasant walk round. I would definitely play here again. Lots of low flying planes overhead and parachutists which was amusing as their screams were a bit off putting but it was all part of the fun.

A bit wet in places but due to a storm where there was flash floods in the area only a few days ago course drainage has done its job really well and course is in a very good condition and can only get better once the sun gets out and drys thing out.
