All about your golfing holidays in Fife
Discover a destination shaped by golf
Fife has a special place in golfing history, with St Andrews at the heart of the region’s international reputation. For visiting golfers, however, a trip to Fife can offer much more than a single famous course. The area provides opportunities to discover different golfing landscapes while enjoying the coast, historic communities and welcoming towns that make this part of Scotland such a rewarding place to visit.
Build some extra time into your golfing holiday to experience the destination beyond the fairways. Our guide to things to do in Fife, Scotland offers inspiration for filling the hours between rounds.
Explore Fife between your rounds
Your golf clubs don’t need to be the only reason to get outdoors. When you have a free morning or afternoon, explore Fife on foot and experience its coastline, countryside and historic communities from a different perspective. Walking can be an ideal way to unwind after a round while discovering more of the destination.
From coastal scenery to routes connecting picturesque towns and villages, there are plenty of options for different interests and energy levels. Discover some of the best routes in Fife and add another outdoor experience to your golfing break.
Make more of your golfing holiday
A golfing holiday in Fife can easily become a wider Scottish getaway. St Andrews combines its golfing heritage with historic streets, university buildings, beaches, restaurants and coastal scenery, while the East Neuk offers characterful fishing villages such as Crail, Anstruther, Pittenweem and St Monans.
Giving yourself a few days beyond your planned rounds means there’s time to explore at a slower pace. Enjoy local food, walk along the coast or simply spend an afternoon discovering somewhere new before returning to your holiday accommodation.
Create your ideal golf break in Fife
A little planning can help you get more from your time in Fife, particularly when golf is at the centre of your trip. Consider the courses you’d like to play, travel time between locations and what your group would like to do away from the fairways. Having your own holiday property gives everyone a comfortable base and greater freedom when organising each day.
Whether your itinerary revolves around St Andrews or takes you across different parts of the region, leave some space for spontaneous discoveries too. Explore more Fife travel inspiration from Premier Stay Fife before your visit.

Frequently asked questions about holf holidays in Fife, Scotland
Why take a golfing holiday in Fife?
The Old Course at St Andrews in Fife is called the Home of Golf for a reason – it’s said to be where the game was first played more than 600 years ago. The British Open is hosted there every five years, and there’s a concentration of courses, course types and things to do for the rest of the family across the region.
How many golf courses are there in Fife?
The Fife Golfing Association states there are more than 44 golf courses in Fife. Considering the area is not that large, has a population of less than 375,000, and you can drive from Dunfermline on the south edge to St Andrews on the north edge in just over an hour, that’s quite a lot.
Is the Old Course the most famous golf course in the world?
The Old Course is most certainly Scotland’s most famous course, and, as it’s considered the Home of Golf, it could be the most famous course in the world. As it stands, it’s mentioned in most Top 10 and Top 100 worldwide course lists, so it very well might be.
Other famous sites include:
- Augusta National, Georgia, USA
- Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, New York, USA
- Emirates Golf Club, Dubai, UAE
- The Stadium Course at Sawgrass, Florida, USA
- Carnoustie, Scotland, UK
- Royal County Down, Northern Ireland, UK
