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.

Buddies Golf
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.
Nice morning golfing
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.
Beautiful and picturesque
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
Worth a visit

Burntisland Golf Course
Burntisland is a great course , with tradition and idyllic views , it really is something everyone must try. The course is in excellent condition, Greens immaculate and fairways are all lined , so looks fantastic. Warm welcome from the pro shop, and everyone I met on course were chatty and friendly.
Superb
Great value for money, course condition is kept to a very high standard, especially in this warm dry spell, a few hilly parts, but good test
A good day with the course in great condition
This is a very friendly course to play but it has a few quirky holes to navigate. It was a bit slow for us as we got stuck behind a slow 4 ball that were looking for balls on every other hole.
The course was in great condition and putting can be a challenge if you get on the wrong side of the greens. The views are amazing,
Beautiful course
