Burntisland Golf House Club

About
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.

Oasis with great views
I thouroughly enjoyed my visit to Burntisland Golf Course, it's a challenge in places, so if you value your course management here is the course to test your skills. A lovely drive through from Edinburgh on a sunny day. The pro and members are super helpful and friendly. Kudos to the green staff as it is in pristine condition for the time of year.
I would/will recomend to friends and fellow golfers and it's another course to add to my favourite list within the Fife region. All in all a great days golf.
Mr Jay Fraser.
Lovely course
Great course with very interesting holes. Lovely views. Pro shop friendly and welcoming on arrival.
Great course, great welcome
We really enjoyed plating this course. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely be back and have already recommended this course to my friends.
Was a recommended course
Played here after playing Kinghorn and Aberdour and being recommended to play this.
Great deal on GolfNow and couldn't turn it down.
Arrived early for a bite and unluckily they don't serve hot food on a Sunday.....Luckily our host made us rolls and sausage when she didn't have to. Very much appreciated.
Course looked amazing, having played a few past 2 weeks and knowing its start of season, they have put a lot of effort into it. Very windy and had to be clever but greens were pure and you could trust your line. Views added to the course.
Locals were very polite and accommodating.
Will visit again.
Spring round
Been a while since I played Burntisland, but thoroughly enjoyed my round. Course looking good and weather to compliment it. Pro-shop staff as friendly and welcoming as ever.
Great course
Great course with lots of nice hikes. Not long but tricky. For it being March the course and grand were in fabulous condition. Well definitely come back and play again.
Good to be back
Always a pleasure to be back at Burntisland. Even though I never seem to bring my best game it’s always enjoyable to play especially on a sunny day.
Good challenging course with special views
While hilly, it's a tricky course with spectacular views. The pro was so helpful and friendly.
Great course and club!
Great course with several quirky holes. Pro shop staff member was really friendly and helpful. Went in for a pint afterwards, good atmosphere and staff again really helpful and friendly.
Would definetly play again and recommend.
Challenging layout
Nice course to play with lots of very different holes in very good condition for the time of year.
Quite a challenge to walk round as there are quite a few hills to go up and down. No two holes the same with some interesting shot making required.
Clubhouse was also very welcoming as indeed was the pro shop. Would recommend for a visit
Fantastic course
It was a lovely sunny winters day and the views across the Forth were fantastic. Morning frost meant it was winter greens. We were notified of this before arrival and offered the chance to amend our booking, but we were just happy not to be playing off fairway mats and went ahead. So glad we did as we thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back.
Winter Golf for a great price
Burntisland GC is around 45 minutes away from where we play & 30 minutes from Edinburgh. Our home course was closed with snow on the course, so went up for the day after checking Golfnow reviews for Burntisland. Although it was on winter tees & greens, we were not disappointed with the course or the day out in January. The layout is a challenging one with slopes & bunkers making it interesting. The ground for the time of year was not too wet, considering the past few weeks weather. Some fantastic views too, so checkout the photos on the website.
Craig, the Pro was very welcoming, explaining due to the temp overnight that the main greens were closed for the day & letting us set off a few minutes early. Winter greens did not stop us having a good time & we're planning on going back when the full course is open.
The pace of play was fine too & took us around 3-hours for a two ball. Even managed to keep the same ball for the entire round, but suspect once the entire course is open, this will be much more of a challenge.
We finished off with lunch & again the staff could not be nicer, the food was good & the price was very reasonable.
All in all a great winters golf-day out & would recommend others give it a go during winter or summer. We'll be back & thanks for a great time.
Regards Stewart.
Burntisland, little gem.
Great day out at Burntisland today, fantastic value and 2 temporary greens didn't detract from the course being in great nick for January. Fantastic views across the Forth.
Outstanding winter golf
Absolutely blown away with the quality of this course in the winter, no fairway mats, only one winter green albeit course is a bit shorter with the winter tee box's, the views are spectacular on every hole and every hole on the course is an absolute joy to play, and to top it all I think we payed £18 to play it, £6.50 for a toastie and a bowl of soup in the clubhouse after the round which is also great value, can't wait to get back and play it in the summer
Great Value
Played as a foursome, with a cooked breakfast beforehand. Friendly staff, generous portions. Friendly and informative professional. Despite being early December, we were lucky to see 17 greens in play, only 1 winter green. Tees were all forward. Nice , varied course, and lovely views over the Forth. All four of us commented on how we'd enjoyed it, and will definitely return, hopefully during summer months. Golf Now price of £13.99 per head was excellent value for money.
