The club, like many in the Kingdom, offers breathtaking views across the Forth and provides the pleasure of playing golf in superb surroundings. The club was founded in May 1868 and shared an 18-hole course with golfers from Leven. By the turn of the century, however, interest in the game had grown to such a level that the course was halved, to cater for demand and allow both sets of enthusiasts a separate identity. Additional ground near the former railway line was used to create the Lundin and Leven courses of today. Formidable challenges at Lundin include the 452-yard fourth hole, by the seaside, which presents the risk of going out of bounds entirely down one side.
Players also have to overcome a burn to reach the green.
The final hole offers no easy route back to the comfort of the clubhouse, being heavily bunkered and offering the threat of shots to the green going wayward in a breeze. Lundin also boasts the oldest club in Scotland for female players, Lundin Ladies Golf Club, which celebrated its centenary in 1991. THE 18-hole course belonging to Scotscraig Golf Club carries much tradition and has origins dating from 1817, when the club was founded. Among them was one William Dalgleish of Scotscraig, who owned a section of land known as the Garpit, around part of which ran a race course. There is no record of any of the racing, but the course is carefully marked out on the first Ordnance Survey maps.
