Along the shores of the Firth of Forth lies a course which embodies an interesting history out of which has come a blend of styles rather unusual in a seaside setting. The links of Lundin Golf Club, and the course of its neighbours Leven, in days gone by were one and the same. For a time the clubs shared the course, starting at opposite ends. Play continue from both ends until 1909 when the course was divided at the 'Mile Dyke' with Leven retaining the Western side, and Lundin the Eastern side, allowing the development of two 18 hole layouts.

Lundin Golf Club was founded in 1868. Built on rolling sand hills of Lundin Mill, playing 9 holes out and 9 back, very much in keeping with the style of nineteenth century course design. Old Tom Morris is credited with the original layout of the back nine holes, although it appears he had some input in the first nine.

The Open Championship final qualifying is a regular visitor to Lundin Links when the Open is played at St Andrews, and the club annually plays host to the East of Scotland stroke play championship. In 1975 Lundin was the venue for the World Senior Professional Championship, won that year by Roberto De Vicenzo
