Aberdour Golf Club

Aberdour situated just six miles southeast of Dunfermline in the delightful region of Fife; lies some 30 miles south of St. Andrews and on the shores of the River Forth. St. Andrews is known throughout the world as the ‘Home of Golf’ and where the origins and rules of the game of golf were developed. From a golfing perspective St. Andrews may arguably be the golfing centerpiece for golf in the Kingdom of Fife but throughout the Kingdom there are a number of golfing ‘Jewels in the Crown’. One of these is Aberdour. Aberdour Golf Club, although founded in 1896, did not begin developing a course at its present location until 1905. Like most courses established at that time, Aberdour was a nine hole course, with a further nine being added in 1914. Today, its 18 holes cover 5460 yards and have been laid out on land made up of ancient sea cliffs and raised beaches.
