Burntisland Golf House Club

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.

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.

Had winter greens all the way round will definitely play it in the summer

Brilliant course…unbelievable views

….will look forward to playing it in summer…guys in the shop were also really welcoming… superb

Loved this course, was great value, amazing views.

I will definitely be back to play here, although the course ended up being on winter greens when I played, the course looked great and so did the greens.

Nice course, not bad at all for a January round. Look forward to returning in the summer. Staff and members really friendly.

I received a phone call early in the morning form the pro shop to say due to the freeze overnight , to say although the course was open, some of the greens were on temporary greens , I really appreciated that and more clubs should do this , very nice touch and made me feel appreciated. Any way having played the course several times before, I knew what to expect. The course has some amazing views , and the mixture of holes are difficult , but some are very much scoring holes. The Summer greens were very good for the time of year, however the Temporary Greens were playable, but were in some odd positions on the fairways, however it was still to get out for a swing and putt.

Really good challenging course with brilliant views. Have played this course a few times now and always look forward to it. The course is always looked after really well. The variation in the holes is one of the reasons to visit the course. Would definitely recommend playing this course and the pro is always friendly, helpful and passionate about the course.

The course was in really good condition after the rain we had I would recommend to any one to play it was very good .

The course was in fantastic condition for the time of year, especially the greens. Good variety of holes short & long. Friendly staff member in the shop before the round made us very welcome & answered any queries fully. All in all great value for money for a course in excellent condition.

Played Burntisland in very heavy rain which did obviously impact the entire course but in spite of that I have to say it was a great looking course with a some great holes and definitely a big challenge! Loved the 17th, it was very quirky and we did get lost a couple of times but all in all it was a joy to play.

I can imagine it being very popular in warmer weather with some absolutely spectacular views.

Staff in the pro shop were excellent and because of the conditions we played in, we were given a voucher for a 2 ball because he didn’t want our memory of the course being a wet one! First class service in my opinion and the food in the clubhouse was amazing! As was the service.

Even without the free voucher we had every intention of coming back to play in the new year but that was a great gesture.

Play Burntisland when it isn’t pouring down with rain and you’re in for a treat.

The course is quite sportive if you walk. Lot of up and down but inbetween you get nice views of the forth and the coastline on the other side. We will come again!

Very quirky in places , fantastic views , some holes blind , going to play again before we go back down south.

Played with 3 Buddies.The welcome from Clubhouse staff and Pro shop was first rate . Members were very friendly too. Course is quite hilly in places but with super coastal views . The course is quite short off the yellows at just over 5500 yards but because of the terrain is still challenging. .The only negative was that the greens had just been hollow tined and sanded .

Overall , a very enjoyable course.

This course features some fantastic views over the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh. It has some interesting holes, particularly the 1st 12 holes. As the course returns to the clubhouse, the holes become more bland.

The pro shop was very well stocked and did the basic pleasantries well before we teed off. There was a practice putting green and a practice net 50 yards up the 1st fairway that we didn’t notice until after we started. Greens rolled well despite having just been cored and heavily sanded. Spoke to some members, some quite friendly although one went out of his way to tell us to move our trolleys off the edge of the heavily sanded 10th tee, that resembled a goal mouth. Greenkeepers out and about on the course albeit one of them seemed to be following us from green to green with his roller. Whilst he was courteous enough it was tiresome meeting him every other hole. That said, overall we enjoyed our day and would return for an occasional game.

This was my favourite course I've played. Got lovely conditions for it and there were so many holes that take your breath away. Absolutely stunning

Great condition, friendly staff and cracking views...

Great course, friendly staff and local players. Excellent layout with challenging holes, would play again.
