Improvements had been made to the course during the winter, in spite of severe and prolonged wintry conditions. For example, the seventh hole had been moved and a new teeing ground had been made nearer the railway in order to make this a less dangerous hole to drive from. Up on the hill behind Silverburn Farm, the twelfth hole had also been reworked. The round-up also mentioned that "several old bunkers have been filled up and new ones made." The Club was still however looking to members to help fund the purchase of a new "mowing tractor to get quicker over the fairways".
Back in 1929, the Lundin Golf Club would have been enjoying a busy summer. The Courier had anticipated this in April that year in a round-up of the main Fife Golf Courses - commenting upon their condition, recent improvements and popularity. Lundin Links favoured well in the article as "a visit to this golf course found it in perfect order". This was echoed by an "expert golfer" who "made no exaggerated statement the other day when playing over the course that Lundin course was at the present time one of the best in Scotland."
