Ladybank Golf Club is situated amidst heather, pines, and silver birch trees that provide a valuable habitat for a diverse range of flora and fauna. Red squirrels, which are in decline in the UK, can be seen throughout the woodlands both on and around the course. Ladybank was established as a six-hole course in 1879 by Old Tom Morris himself. It expanded to a nine-hole course in 1910 and to 18 holes in 1958. Since then, the layout has been consistently celebrated as a qualifying round for the British Open due to its challenging but fair layout. The golf course features long, narrow fairways lined with trees and well-manicured greens. Ladybank Golf Club's par-4 ninth hole is the course's signature. It is a demanding right to left dogleg with a tree guarding the corner and a two-tiered green.

Excellent day out..

Really good place for enjoying a round of golf. Facilities excellent, staff excellent. Only down point was that I discovered the golf now booking was £3 more expensive than booking direct with the club!

Excellent course

Excellent ‘old school’ style golf course in excellent condition in late September. Greens were superb running pure with dry heathland tree lined fairways. You need to hit it straight of the tee especially in the wind. Really worth playing if you in St Andrews and want a change to inland golf.

A Perfect Alternative

To any of the fine links in Fife. We played Ladybank en route from Edinburgh to St. Andrews. Beautiful course in fine shape and quiet on this weekday. A solid test of golf and a good choice if you're looking to get away from the seaside.
