Burntisland Golf House Club

My 2 sons & I ventured up from Norfolk for a golfing week & decided to try this little course north of the Forth.

One of the oldest courses with all the views, we were really looking forward to this.

I am an 18 & my sons are 22 & 24 hcps & are weekly golfers.

The course layout is just mad (unless your a single figure hcp, starting on the first tee (with no warning of target zone)you have a blind entry into the green, once able to see there are 2 tees & another green tight to this target area!

Anything just blindly slightly overshot (from a visitor) & you have a hospital trip or an insurance claim......

Both my sons were apologising to the locals profusely on this occasion....

The 1st, 2nd & third holes have tight left hand out of bounds almost right on a busy road with no safety fencing or mesh!

My youngest occasionally has a slight pull to his game & on the second was worried that he might have gone through onto the road.

These problems persisted round the course with several more blind entries!

The 17th is just a joke hole isn’t it?

Par 3 blind dip on 118 yds where the flag had blown off & was lying by the side of the green so from the tee we had no idea where the flag was just 2 marker poles!!

I could not believe how many tees & greens were so close together neither wonder other folk have mentioned slow pace of play.....

But the greens and some of the other approaches were just perfect!

Before you think oh moaning English, I am from Edinburgh originally & we venture up every year for a golf tour of Fife & surroundings.

We will not be returning to The Burned Island pitch & Putt.....

A challenging course some tight fareways

and well kept greens some cracking views of the Forth estuary and beound

I really enjoyed playing BurntIsland. The course was in good condition and with the "medalist" tees only 6000 yards, this is a course you can score on. If you are in Edinburgh, it's a short drive to play. There are some beautiful views of Edinburgh along the way.

First time playing burntisland and would highly recommend it.awesome views. Few tricky holes. Didn't play as well as I can but still really enjoyed my round. Especially liked 10th hole and 17th

Pretty challenging course for this high handicapper. However, it was a beautiful day with a lovely views of the new Queensferry Crossing Bridge. This was my second time to play here, and the reason I would recommend it to a friend is because people were friendly and helpful, and its a beautiful course. But the two-some in front of me was waiting on the three-some in front of them who was waiting on the group in front of them. And there are just so many golf courses in Fife to play. I’ve played Thornton, Scoonie, Kirkcaldy, Kinghorn, Lochgelly, and pace of play has not been an issue. FYI.

Last played the course over autumn period and course was in ok condition for time of year.

Glad we came back in summer as course is in fantastic condition now. Greens are pristine. Course very well maintained in general.

Not the longest of courses but plenty tight tee shots and changes in elevation to keep things interesting.

Not too long a course but tests you all the way round. Greens were in fantastic condition. Good test of golf. Fantastic views too.

Great course to play with extremely varied layout. Definately not a boring up and down type course. However lots of holes that could lead to high numbers ic you are at all wayward. Most enjoyable and in excellent condition considering the winter wd have just had. Views hard to beat on any course.

We’ve played Burntisland quite a few & it’s normally really enjoyable. This round; however, was spoiled by the course being too busy. We took almost 4 hours, with two of the groups in front of us walking off. The greens were also really furry, with poor quality grass.

Great course and great staff - if I lived closer I would definitely become a member!

We played a fourball and found the course to be great. Plentying challenging holes and the greens were in great condition. Only down side was it was still on winter tees.

definetly worth a re visit in the summer

Played this course late in March just after the cold snap and the bombardment of snow that brought most of the country to a standstill.

Only I temp green which unfortunately was the wonderful 17th par 3.

The greenstaff had worked endlessly getting the rest of the course back on track which they have done and a great day's golfing was had.

Fully recommend anyone to play this course.

Second time playing this course and will be back again and again. We'll worth the travel from glasgow. Very friendly pro and a well stocked shop. One of the best courses I have played

Played this course in middle of January '18 with a friend and absolutely delighted with the condition of the course. 17 out of 18 greens were on. Not only that but the greens were in in great shape. Even the winter hole on the short 17th was in better condition than some parkland regulation greens. Pro was very friendly and pace of play was great. So good I'll be returning next week for a fourball. I genuinely cannot recommend highly enough.

disappointed that the course was on winter greens however this was due to frost which is outwith the green keeper's control.

the course is still in good condition given the time of year and well worth a visit

On arriving club pro very helpful other members very friendly the course was in great condition for time of year considering the rain we have had. The greens were in fantastic condition and the four of us can’t wait to play it again. Well done green staff for the excellent condition of course

The course was in excellent condition considering it was October. The fairways were lush and greens were true. It was a good challenge with each hole layout very different and enjoyable to play. We will definitely be back.

Weather aside the course held up well to the summer deluge, but it never stopped us, this the third time we have played this year as usual the staff gave us a warm welcome, the course despite climate weather did not take any prisoners, it played well and it was most enjoyable, we will be back, and will recommend Burntisland to our friends!

Since the course appeared busy and the players were stacking up, the two visiting gents in front of me asked if I (woman playing alone) would like to join them. I agreed and it was very enjoyable. The man in the pro shop gave me a rundown of the clubhouse and the course. It took us about 3 1/2 hours to get around.
