About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Style Parkland
Par 70
Length 5972 yards
Slope N/A
Rating N/A

Burntisland Golf House Club in Fife, Scotland, is an 18-hole golf course designed by architect Willie Park Jun. It's best described as having a parkland nature, although some holes have a links-type turf to hit off. The course is just under 6,000 yards and has a diversity of terrain.

The fun starts with three par 3s in the first six holes, but birdie opportunities abound. There's only one par 4 over 400 yards, for instance, so good length off the tee and control of mid-irons can lead to that elusive below-par score. The two par 5s are also tamable: No. 2 has a tricky two-tier green that's narrow from front to back, but 12 is much less challenging for the low-handicap golfer.

Throughout the golf course, however, control is key. Out of bounds lies to the left of the first four holes and the 18th, and to the right of nine and 10. You face a pond to the right on five, and you have to maneuver past a quarry on 12. Beyond that, the course throws up its share of trees, gorse and rough all over.

When you finish the course, check out the clubhouse, which offers a bar/lounge/dining area. The bar's open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. in the summer.

Burntisland golf course

This golf course for me was beutifull to play. The course was well maintained considering the weather wee had for days before playing here. There is a cpl of challenging blind holes to play but if you play to the markers its fine. Once you get to the top of the course the views over the firth of forth are just soectacular if your visiting our beutifull country to play golf i highly recommend you play this course you wont be dissapointed. after wee finished our round wee went into the clubhouse were the staff and members were really friendly and accommodating. Wee will definetly be back to play this course.

Fantastic Layout, Breathtaking Views

First time playing Burntisland and what a wonderful experience.
It is December in Scotland and not a links so the course was soft / a little muddy in areas.
Course layout is one of the best I've played. I think one hole where I was thinking that there wasn't that much interesting about it - 17 others all had something going on.
Views across the Forth river fantastic - both towards Edinburgh and the nearside Fife coastline - all aided by some fairly dramatic lighting with cloud and low winter sun. Immediately recommended to family and I will return for sure to play in drier conditions.

Burntisland Golf Course

Always assured off a warm welcome in the pro shop, always informative and give good tips and any course issues or things to note. It’s a great track with great views across the Forth. The greens are always in great condition. The fairways are well maintained and the tees are always well looked after, only slight minor criticism is there are winter mats on the yellow tees on the par 3’s, which there aren’t in the Medal or ladies tees, so obviously the yellows are played off most. Always a good scoring course , and I enjoy its location. I like to play this course every time I get a chance

Fantastic day out

Played the course today and was very impressed. Course in great condition with a good mix of holes, and some really quirky ones which made for an interesting round. Throw in some cracking views for good measure and you have a great course for a day out. In addition, we had breakfast at clubhouse before the game…ooft, what a plateful and as breakfasts go was presented superbly. Service in the clubhouse was great with the staff very friendly. Would highly recommend the course and the clubhouse.

Good greens, too many blind holes for my taste

Played it for the first time and found that too many blind tee shots make it a bit of a lottery. Even with plenty of marker posts there are still holes where I didn't know whether to hit driver or iron off the tee and not quite sure iwhat was over the hill. Greens were good, views are spectacular and a couple of the tees are cut up and need time to recover. Would need to play it a few times to give a fairer assessment.
