Kilspindie Golf Course

Golf had been played over this piece of links land before 1850, but it was not until 26 November 1898 that the links were officially opened by Luffness Golf Club, which was re-named Kilspindie Golf Club in 1899.

 

The links were designed by Willie Park Jr. and Ben Sayers, with minor modifications over the years.

 

The first hole, a par 3, is due north, followed by three holes directly into the prevailing wind.

 

The 2nd hole is the only par 5, but it can play more like a par 6 or 7. Imagine what it must have been like with hickories.
