Played this course late in March just after the cold snap and the bombardment of snow that brought most of the country to a standstill.

Only I temp green which unfortunately was the wonderful 17th par 3.

The greenstaff had worked endlessly getting the rest of the course back on track which they have done and a great day's golfing was had.

Fully recommend anyone to play this course.

Played this course in middle of January '18 with a friend and absolutely delighted with the condition of the course. 17 out of 18 greens were on. Not only that but the greens were in in great shape. Even the winter hole on the short 17th was in better condition than some parkland regulation greens. Pro was very friendly and pace of play was great. So good I'll be returning next week for a fourball. I genuinely cannot recommend highly enough.

disappointed that the course was on winter greens however this was due to frost which is outwith the green keeper's control.

Weather aside the course held up well to the summer deluge, but it never stopped us, this the third time we have played this year as usual the staff gave us a warm welcome, the course despite climate weather did not take any prisoners, it played well and it was most enjoyable, we will be back, and will recommend Burntisland to our friends!

Since the course appeared busy and the players were stacking up, the two visiting gents in front of me asked if I (woman playing alone) would like to join them. I agreed and it was very enjoyable. The man in the pro shop gave me a rundown of the clubhouse and the course. It took us about 3 1/2 hours to get around.

a magnificent spot to play golf, with views across the Forth towards Edinburgh castle , Arthur's seat etc

We arrived early and had a hearty Scottish breakfast in the bright and friendly clubhouse.

we walked the course, quite hilly, but manageable & probably took as many photos as we did golf shots.

We would definitely recommend this course & look forward to a return match.

great day out, an early PM tee off with course conditions sensaishh as were the views across the Forth. x4 gowfers of moderate handicaps enjoyed quite a few blind holes with hit an hope shots adding to the days drama and enjoyment. Sometimes a wee trek between greens to tees where a wee bit more signage would help orientate first time visitors.

Although not sampled the clubhouse fair appeared keenly priced and by the number in for tea well appreciated.

we were planning to be at Aberdour GC but a sponsors day scuppered that idea however BHGC 5 mins up the road more than met our expectations.

Really wanted to play this golf course. Had high expectations. Firstly was warned by a member that the course was normally busy. The round took 4 and a half hours for a 2 ball. Course was is decent condition very dry. A few unsighted greens which was annoying, hit and hope. Left standing on tees waiting on players leaving greens, they were in no rush as people before them still on tees on next hole

Ruined the flow of my game. Definitely need course knowledge to hit a good score. Needs a course guide.

We decided to get to the east coast as the weather was terrible post "storm Doris" - we were lucky to get a dry 17 holes, rained going down 18th. Given the heavy rain all week it was a bit wet and muddy underfoot and we played from matts - all to be expected for the time of year. I was surprised to get 17/18 full greens of which all were fantastic (again for time of year). lots of quirky little holes and although its a decent walk up and down hills it was not long or too difficult. I am keen to get back during the season to see it in its full glory and would recommend for a society day looking for an interesting course which is a fair test to golfers of all abilities.
