The Lundin Golf Club was founded in May 1868 in which year the Leven Clubs had extended their links from the Mile Dyke eastwards towards Lundin Links, the extended course occupied the narrow strip of land between the railway line and the Firth of Forth. The shared links, with Leven and Lundin golfers starting from their respective ends inevitably congested as the popularity of the game increased and in 1907 the legendary James Braid was asked to design a new layout of 18 holes. The course was made up of 9 holes on the existing links and a further 9 on ground purchased to the north of the railway and is the course that is still played today.
'Lundie' as the locals call it, is a superb example of links golf along with a three hole parkland section where the route climbs onto higher ground. Conditions and presentation are always exceptional, linksey swells and firm ground call for particular skills that can only be achieved by playing these truly original golf courses, one of the reasons why this unique course is used for final qualifying for the Open Championship when at St Andrews and the annual East of Scotland Championship.
