The hotel's location also offers quick and easy access to a wealth of golfing opportunities in and around Fife, not least the magnetic draw of historic St. Andrews, which needs no further introduction.

Aberdour Golf Club

Just ten minutes' leisurely stroll from our hotel, the clubhouse is friendly and welcoming, offering warm hospitality and full catering facilities seven days a week, all year round. What could be more satisfying than a round or two on these beautiful links, with spectacular coastal views and the comfort of your room at The Woodside Hotel in easy reach.

Burntisland Golf Club

Burntisland Golf Club is proud to be officially recognised as the 11th oldest golf club in the world. The Club's history from its inception, when members played over the original course on the town's Links, to the present day, is outlined briefly below. Burntisland Golf Club now forms an integral part of the new club, Burntisland Golf House Club, which was formed after the Club moved to its present location in the town. The Club's new location overlooks the Forth Estuary, with spectacular views over to Edinburgh and the Pentland Hills beyond and up the river to the famous Forth Bridges.

Balbirnie Park Golf Club

Situated in Markinch near Glenrothes and set within 140 acres of superb woodland, this beautiful layout opened in 1983 and, with a par of 71 and measuring 6,300 yards from the men's tees, is a good challenge for golfers of all abilities.The course has hosted many PGA events including the Scottish Assistants Championship and with its close proximity to St Andrews is the ideal venue for the visiting golfer.

Dunfermline Golf Club

The Dunfermline Golf Club was founded in 1887 and is much travelled. The present club is no less than the club's 4th home! Happily though, the days of wandering are over and the club has been settled here at Pitfirrane since 1953. This is no bad thing for the estate provides both a wonderfully historic clubhouse and a very fine golfing landscape.

Thornton Golf Club

In the summer of 1921 Thornton Golf Club was formally founded by a group of local railwaymen. A committee was formed and the layout of the course was designed and agreed upon and on Saturday 6 August 1921 a mixed fourball competition was played to mark the opening of the club.

Kirkcaldy Golf Club (Balwearie)

Kirkcaldy Golf Course is known locally as Balwearie and is set in 150 acres of a beautiful, rolling piece of Fife countryside. From start to finish this is a true test of golf. The 1st hole, with the drive across the burn is a challenge for any player, then it’s very own ‘Amen Corner‘ round the 6, 7, & 8th holes, where a good round can be made or lost, and finally, in the homeward straight, the par 5 17th gives that special thrill of ‘should I shouldn’t I?’ when contemplating carrying the burn in two from the top of the hill.
