Cowdenbeath Golf Club

Golf has been played in Cowdenbeath since 1888, when the town's first club operated across three sites until 1900, followed by a second club that moved between four venues up to 1947. The present course was built on a former coal mine, with work beginning in 1988 and the first nine holes ready for play by 1991; the full 18-hole, par-71 parkland layout was completed and formally opened by Sir Michael Bonallack in 1996. Gently undulating with tree-lined fairways, the course and its expanded 1998 clubhouse reflect Cowdenbeath's transformation from mining town to modern parkland golf destination.
