About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Style Parkland
Par 70
Length 5972 yards
Slope N/A
Rating N/A

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.

Another Good Day

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!

Busy wee course!

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.

Fife coast golf July 2017

a magnificent spot to play golf, with views across the Forth towards Edinburgh castle , Arthur's seat etc

We arrived early and had a hearty Scottish breakfast in the bright and friendly clubhouse.

we walked the course, quite hilly, but manageable & probably took as many photos as we did golf shots.

We would definitely recommend this course & look forward to a return match.

annual squad awayday

great day out, an early PM tee off with course conditions sensaishh as were the views across the Forth. x4 gowfers of moderate handicaps enjoyed quite a few blind holes with hit an hope shots adding to the days drama and enjoyment. Sometimes a wee trek between greens to tees where a wee bit more signage would help orientate first time visitors.

Although not sampled the clubhouse fair appeared keenly priced and by the number in for tea well appreciated.

we were planning to be at Aberdour GC but a sponsors day scuppered that idea however BHGC 5 mins up the road more than met our expectations.

High expectations

Really wanted to play this golf course. Had high expectations. Firstly was warned by a member that the course was normally busy. The round took 4 and a half hours for a 2 ball. Course was is decent condition very dry. A few unsighted greens which was annoying, hit and hope. Left standing on tees waiting on players leaving greens, they were in no rush as people before them still on tees on next hole

Ruined the flow of my game. Definitely need course knowledge to hit a good score. Needs a course guide.

nice wee track

We decided to get to the east coast as the weather was terrible post "storm Doris" - we were lucky to get a dry 17 holes, rained going down 18th. Given the heavy rain all week it was a bit wet and muddy underfoot and we played from matts - all to be expected for the time of year. I was surprised to get 17/18 full greens of which all were fantastic (again for time of year). lots of quirky little holes and although its a decent walk up and down hills it was not long or too difficult. I am keen to get back during the season to see it in its full glory and would recommend for a society day looking for an interesting course which is a fair test to golfers of all abilities.

Great day

Would be a definite advantage to have played the course more than once. Sloping greens and strategically placed pot bunkers are always a danger for the less than accurate golfer. Score cards show all of the hazards clearly. Friendly welcome and good value food and drink in the clubhouse were a real bonus.
