Ladybank Golf Club is a short golf blog post that takes a look at one of the best Heathland courses in Scotland.
The area of Fife in Scotland now has 50 golf courses.
Everybody knows the big Links courses in St Andrews including the Old, New, Jubilee Course and Castle Courses.
Dumbarnie Links & Kingsbarns Golf Links make up the other big links courses.
But how many of you know of the smaller, lesser known courses.
Theses include Crail Golfing Society, Scotscraig, Elie Links, Lundin Links, Leven Links or even Ladybank Golf Club?
There are too many to mention in just one blog post, so this week I will take a look at Ladybank Golf Club.
Ladybank Golf Club
The club was formed in 1879 by 15 founder members
The course was originally laid out as a 6 hole course by Old Tom Morris.
By 1961, it had developed into the 18 hole course that exists today.
Ladybank is now one of the finest Heathland courses in Scotland.
At 6821 yards and Par 71, the course is a great test of golf and nerves, as it is quite tight in places.
Tournaments at Ladybank GC
The course has hosted many tournaments over the years including the following…
Open Championship Qualifying in 1978, 1984, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005 & 2010.
Nicklaus & Seve Exhibition Match in 1983
The Scottish Open Amateur Seniors Championships 1998
The British Boys Championships in 1998
Ladies British Amateur Championships 2001
Final Qualifying for The Senior Open Championship
The Clubhouse Facilities
The original clubhouse was built in 197, which has now become the proshop.
Facilities include male & female changing rooms with showers and good locker facilities.
There are a couple of bars at Ladybank, which include a spike bar.
A spacious lounge area where you can relax with a drink and a great restaurant too.
The ‘Carlucci’ restaurant offers a great Italian/Scottish style menu.
I can’t believe that it has taken me so long to play this course. I will definitely be back soon for another enjoyable day.
