Good mix of holes running in two loops, few blind shots, generous greens, easy walk.
Sadly on the day we saw it, there was little else to recommend it. Greens were extremely bare and rock hard, I presume deliberately since other courses(especially next door Lundin) keep their putting surfaces somewhat lusher and more receptive in dry spells. A test, certainly, just not one I can imagine many average players would enjoy.
I didn't notice any bunkers with rivetted faces, despite the claims by the club. The sleeper bunker in front of the last green is dilapidated. The starters hut is scrufffy and next to a down at heel amusement arcade. The warm up nets are pathetic pieces of scaffolded rubbish, no range that I could see but a 40 yard chipping area that you wouldn't walk your dog on. A couple of people decided to cycle across the fairway (?) and people were walking across the greens nearest the clubhouses.
None of which should completely spoil your day, if as a visitor you had paid perhaps £30, but we were charged £70, and not on a weekend. Yes Fife is expensive, but at that price, most things really have to be spot on. I think the course has to decide if it wants visitors, because the four of us felt this was the biggest rip off in several years of touring British courses.

Great value links course on the Fife coast
Perhaps it was because the wind wasn't blowing and it was a beautiful early autumn evening but this seemed an ideal "starter" links course - true humps and bumps and sandy tight lies but forgiving rough and generous views of the route ahead, no real blind shots of other links courses. Really enjoyable course to plot your way around and with fabulous views across the Forth to the Bass Rock and Berwick Law and a huge sky all around, only impinged upon by the brooding Largo Law, this was great fun to play. The 457 yard par 4 18th with a broad tidal burn protecting the green was typical of the need to concentrate on the golf rather than the views all the way around!(Round played: Oct 2017 - Score: 85 Handicap: 16.5)

I found that leven links was a fantastic course that provided a great challenge all the way round. I would however say that the greens were very hard to get the ball to stop on.

Beautiful views, we got a fantastic day, pretty calm but the wind came on stonger and it became a harder course. Course is in in really good condition especially the greens.
Forgot my GPS and there's no markers on the course so that was really tricky in places.
Didn't go in the clubhouse but the pro shack is being maintained in time for next year.
Enjoyed the day, plan to return at some point

Leven is quite simply a terrific natural Links Course
There is not a single poor hole but he best is saved to last where the 18th is truly memorable and was voted a few years ago as second hardest closing hole in Scotland ( only Carnoustie beat it)
A terrific clubhouse for Leven Golfing Society which has a timeless quality to it as you would expect from the 11th oldest golf club in the world
Well worth a visit if you want a true test of links golf
