A True Links Test on Scotland’s East Coast – Leven Links
|
Play Leven Links, one of Scotland’s most historic courses, where undulating fairways, deep revetted bunkers, and the famous Scoonie Burn create a challenging test.Local conditions of winds and tides during prehistoric times combined to produce a series of parallel dune ridges which give Leven Links a truly unique character. From the start of the round the golfer will be conscious of the fairways running along the valleys between these old dunes; it makes for superb definition and a true test of links golf as the slopes and bounces of these natural obstacles come into play throughout the round. They are most noticeable at the first (where the green sits on a ridge plateau), the second, thirteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth signature hole.
