Just Played Kilmacolm and what a treat. On arriving it just feels like a place to play golf, great setting and well laid out. Facilities are good and the staff are most welcoming. Now the course, great condition, but vey challenging for the first timers and I look forward to my next visit, this time with a bit 'local knowledge
One hole (maybe 16th) sharp dogleg right but with a restricted narrow view from the tee and there is an old marker post up on the hill, maybe 30-40 degrees to the right 'no way that can be the line' but it was, once you go round the corner, there is a huge fairway, twice normal width, I split the difference, hit a good drive, and ran out of fairway (get it right next time) fantastic day out and for those who have not played here, you are missing a great golf day. If you have played the 'Kings Course', you will see the signature of James Braid here.

I have played here many times over the years, and I played last week in an open competition, and the course was in the best condition I have ever seen it. The fairways are tight with lots of growth and the greens are just superb, and the tees and bunkers are well maintained. Simply put, the course was in perfect condition, and if you can, it is a must play, you will not be disappointed. Congrats to the greenkeeping staff.

As you travel through Fife on your pilgrimage to worship at the Home of Golf stop off at Burntisland Golf Club and discover a golfing gem. Spoke with a guy the day after I played (twice this week) and he used the word I had previously used to descried the course to another person ‘Quirky’, first time I have played a blind par3. Great layout (quite hilly) and the condition of the course was very good, especially the greens, the tees could use some TLC but this did not detract from the pleasure of playing the course, all the staff were very pleasant and I will be going back a couple of times throughout the summer. I played a couple of big name courses at St. Andrews that week but they did not match the condition of Burntisland.

Pleasant welcome in the Pro Shop
Interesting layout with a variation of holes, found the greens a bit difficult but maybe down to me.
Highly recommendable and have been back and will go back again
