Stunning but brutally difficult course
It's easy to see why this was a loong-standing Open qualifying course. A classic heathland which was bone-dry and rockhard when we played it. I'm not sure I have every played on firmer greens which made it nearly impossibly to get up and down if you missed the many raised greens anywhere other than below the hole. The layout is fantastic and condition was great. Greens were super quick and treacherous, almost too much so but we did play it the afternoon after the women's Scottish matchplay had been staged in the morning. It is hard to lose a golf ball with the tree-lined fairways but even without that, it is one of the most difficult golf courses I have ever played. I am despreate to go back and give it another go.Reviewer Rating

Stunning
Get there early for a warm up at the impressive short game/range. As you go through the course you’ll be met with fantastic scenery and wildlife. The course conditions are second to none. From a distance the entrance to most greens look tight. They are actually deceivingly tighter due to run off areas that feed the impressive bunkers.There are no two holes the same where especially the last four or five could make or break any scorecard. A real hidden gem in Fife where quality golf courses come in abundance.Reviewer Rating

Brilliant golf course
Third trip to Ladybank, always a pleasure. Course in great condition, greens stunning. Lovely mix of holes, tight in places yet a fair test. Luckily got to see some red squirrels this time! Definitely worth a drive to when visiting St Andrews & when compared with some of the local courses, is very reasonably priced.Reviewer Rating

Add to your trip if off to St Andrews
Played here twice and really enjoyed both rounds - it adds a different dynamic if visiting the links courses of St Andrews and the surrounding area. Always in good condition, a nice mix of holes as you meander through tree lined fairways. Was quite a slow pace on Sunday morning, but the sun shone so we were happy!Reviewer Rating

We played this course on a dreich October morning - well it certainly brightened up our day!
The back nine was slightly more of a challenge than the front 9 especially the closing 5 holes which are all par 4's through the tree lined heathland surroundings.
The course was in fantastic condition, what a credit to the Greens Staff.
We ate in the Clubhouse after our game and we can not fault anything, the food was great, staff friendly and we were made to feel very welcome by a group of members who were in.
We have already booked this gem of a course for when we return to the area in July 2021 for the British Open Championship.

Trees, well-guarded greens and a variety of dog legs all combine to produce a parkland course that you have to plot your way around. Tight lines off the tee will be rewarded on fast-running heathland turf but beware of running off into heather or tree roots. Holes would be more memorable if there were more variations in altitude (the terrain is flat) or panorama (all holes are tree-lined) but these are minor gripes for a course very much in the Blairgowrie mould. The bunkers had perhaps too much sand and the early season greens were a little scuffed and seemed less than true, but I'd hope a visit later in the summer would see an improvement. I played with a member and, despite the course being fully booked, pace of play was excellent for a busy Friday afternoon, with no sense of the course being crowded.

Played Ladybank on our way up to St Andrews from London. The course was in excellent condition even though it had been raining all the way. We were greeted with sunshine and smiles at the course, very friendly. Most holes are tree lined and very attractive. Rewards for good shots and punishment for bad ones, but very fair. Greens were in great condition and fairways obviously drain really well. The only downside is I live over 450 miles away from the course. I will be back.
