This is a beautiful golf course with lost of character, incredible picture scenes, fun and varied holes. It was voted the best by our foursome (versus Muirfield, Old Course, Archerfield). Do not miss this one if at all possible. - Nice club house with bar/restaurant + shop. More

If you are anywhere close, this is a must play golf course. It's in great shape and isn't unfair or tricked up in any way. Great golf, great views, great fun. More

Over the years I have been lucky enough to play some of Europe's top courses such as the 'Old Course', Valderama, Birkdale to name a few and Kingsbarns is without the best course I have ever played! The setting, the condition and the layout... More

Had an absolute fantastic day of golf. It couldn't be better. Popped into the club for a quick bite, what a let down. Soup was cold Fish had bones in Waitress didn't seem to care Went to complain but heard the clubhouse manager speaking to another customer, she needs to listen to her customers not just use her pushy personality...
