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.

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.

Golf at Burntisland
Very friendly staff and members that we met. Would not hesitate to play again.
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.
Brilliant
First time playing the course since moving to fife and it was superb. The guys in the pro shop were great. Gave a wee insight to the course and we’re friendly and chatting away for a good bit and Very helpful. The course was in great condition and greens were brilliant. Every hole different and had its own unique challenges. To top it off the views are outstanding. Nice clubhouse with friendly staff. Will definitely be back soon for another round.
Highly recommended
First time playing here. The pro shop gave tips on how to play certain holes, particularly the 10th. The course was in excellent condition and the green were true. Although I managed to avoid the bunkers, they were more links-type with flat bottoms with very neat and well-kept, steep rivetted faces rather than the saucer-shaped traps typical of parkland courses. The weather was kind, very little wind and sunny conditions.
Not a long course, but the hills and blind-shots made it necessary to think more about the shot to be played.
I will visit again when the breeze is up to see if I enjoy it as much.
Beautiful course
Truly enjoyed this course. Beautiful scenery and unusual testing golf holes.
Everyone was so friendly from the professional to the greens staff. Would highly recommend playing this course.
Hidden Gem - Gorgeous Day up on the Burntisland Hill
Hailing from Edinburgh, my partner and I decided to try a course slightly further afield given the beautiful weather. Trawling through GolfNow we came across Burntisland at a very reasonable price (I think £15-20, can't remember exactly).
From the moment we arrived, all the staff we encountered were lovely and extremely helpful. The chap who lives in the flat above the clubhouse was especially chatty.
The course itself was in terrific nick for the time of year. The greens had been recently cored & sanded which I understand is completely necessary. Some incredibly characteristic & challenging holes. From memory the 10th was a standout with it's hidden green. Also, if you catch a clear day, like we did, some of the views across the Firth of Forth are nothing short of spectacular.
Would very much recommend this place as a mid-range option if you're looking for a pleasant course, nice people and incredible scenery. Very much a hidden gem.
Well worth a visit
Friendly and helpful greeting from paul the pro
Excellent lay out and great views not too long but a good challenge. Only negative on the day was greens still had sand on and because of lack of rain we’re a bit inconsistent.
But will return again
Well recommended.
