The course is simply beautiful. The facilities are simple and not fancy. The course is just fun. A very nice links course even if you can't see the sea. Always worth it if you're in the area.

Nice links, not a classic.
Reviewed September 5, 2024
Today we played the 18-hole Corbiehill, a typical links course with some spectacular holes, but the course doesn't come close to the classics. There are also a few boring holes that lower the rating. However, I really liked holes 7 and 13, which make up a typical links course.
Fairways okay, bunkers very playable, greens flawless but not too fast.

Puristic-traditional links golf
Reviewed July 29, 2024
Played mid-June 2024, HCP 16
A rustic, traditional links course (according to their own assessment, the 7th oldest golf course in the world - dating back to 1777). Quite puristic - for example, the "pro shop" consists of a shelf on the wall and mainly offers (bobble) hats and towels. Balls, pitchforks, etc. are available at the bar. (There is, however, a golf shop nearby.)
And the course also dispenses with any "frills". Hard fairways, treacherous rough, deep pot bunkers - and (probably almost always) a strong 2-iron wind from a variety of directions thanks to the layout. This, as well as the roar of the nearby sea, usually drowns out the noise of the roads near a few of the holes.
Water hazards = non-existent. You don't miss them, the course is challenging enough as it is. Blessed with fairly wide fairways at the front, you get the feeling that towards the end of the round the dunes covered with tall grass are getting closer and closer to the mown areas.
The moderately fast, heavily undulating and often multi-level greens do not make the game any easier.
The views of/over the dunes towards the sea are sensational! Inland, a few electricity pylons and small houses sometimes spoil the view.
The condition of the course is very good throughout. Although the fairways look like patchworks due to the different types of grass, the balls almost always play perfectly.
A cart is not absolutely necessary (there are very few available) - but it makes walking on the hard surface easier and offers a little protection against the elements.
The course is not very long - from YELLOW it is a good 5,800 yards (approx. 5,300m), with PAR 70. There are only two PAR 5s. The individual holes are sometimes shorter and sometimes longer due to the wind, so the fairway bunkers are sometimes "unreachable" and sometimes "fully in play". It remains varied!
Conclusion: A great links course in a historic style. Definitely worth a play – a solid 4 stars! (In the “Golf Bear Ranking”: a whopping 7 out of 10 points.)

Golf in its original form
Reviewed September 19, 2018
An old place in the far north. Linkscourse of the old school. Do you have to play, all things not easy. Great and friendly staff. everything still rudimentary. Greene at the bar. Trolls at no cost, and the beer tasted as well. Little operation. Played on 10.9.18. Much wind and rain. Course condition rather moderate, since the fairways are very damaged by the dry summer. Nevertheless, rural golf, at a low Greene. So you probably played there 100 years ago. If Kingsbarn is not at the top of your list, play it
