Members of my group had played this course previously and I was skeptical that this course was not going to play like a true links. I was wrong on this count. Also, the views here are as plentiful and spectacular as people say. Still, something is just a bit off here. I think it's the fact that this course, while beautiful, just doesn't have much character. I don't remember any holes individually and there's very little in the way of old-links quirkiness. For the same money, I'd rather play Old, New, Jubilee at St. Andrews and Elie which is also in the area. When you factor in the Kingsbarns price tag, I have to say this course is not a good value. I'm very glad to have played it once but I doubt I will return.

Was lucky enough to play this gem in June 2005 and was greeted by a typical Scottish summer day…mist on the practice tee, sunshine for the front 9, pouring rain on the back except for the last hole when the sun reappeared.

I believe golf has been played at this venue for ages but the new layout and clubhouse is less than 20 years old. Quite remarkable then that they have managed to create a links course that will undoubtedly appear in “Top 100” course lists all over the world for years to come. The undulating fairways and elevation changes provide some spectacular views over the course and out to sea, crowned by a number of holes running alongside the waves.

It doesn’t have the history of some of it’s more illustrious neighbours but any trip to Fife which does not stop off at Kingsbarns will be a second rate excursion…..a MUST play!

Greatest views of our trip no doubt. Course condition above average...not as good as carn or muir, but better then turn, prest, and = troon. Caddies were the best of the trip. Facilities were excellent...just like the club, give them an account number and drink, eat, and golf 36 till it's dark. We had a super time in perfect august no wind wx. a must play but i thought all the other rota courses were more of a links test than this....the fwys here were too huge. compared to prestwick, this place was like a football field for driving. the 4 of us went thru 250 lbs easy for the day and it was well worth it. you'll not have a better view of the sea than here and a great day of golf.

Up there with the best I've played or seen. Amazing costal views and not a poor hole in sight, with the condition of the course being perfect. A must play even though it is relatively more expensive than others. Very friendly staff ensure it will be a memorable day at Kingsbarns.

I played this course a total of 9 times during 2002 and each time I played it IT GOT BETTER & BETTER.

The course played different each time I played due to the weather conditions.

The par 3 15th hole must be one of the best par 3 hole in scottish golf, played from the medel tee 185 yard playing over the sea some days it was a good 7 iron and other days a full 3 iron superb hole.

From the moment you arrive the staff are great the food excellent and the practise range is well laid out then comes this sensational course a must for all golfers to play.

Once you have played it you will know the true meaning of scottish links golf (there's nothing like it believe me)
