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.

Thoroughly recommended
This was my first visit and I will definitely return. There are some quirky holes and blind drives which made it tricky for a first time visitor but the course was in great condition and with such great views it was a thoroughly enjoyable round.
The staff were very friendly and the professional was very helpful and managed to get us to spend some money in his very well stocked pro shop.
Very good
Great course, couple blind second shots which if playing here again would make you try to carry the slops of the green rather than find the middle of the greens!
Views are great with lots of down hill holes which carry longer than expected with the breeze
Tremendous condition for this time of year
We where lucky enough to catch the sun at this time of yeear, the course was in superb condition for this time of year, I asked my playing partner what his thoughts where and he said up there with the best he’s ever played 10/10.
Pro shop staff and bar staff were super friendly and accommodating, highly recommend.
Another plus was by back to back 2,s on the 5th and 6th hole! 😎
Really nice course and a good test of short game and course management
Great test of golf
Upon arrival pro had great customer service skills explained course layout and was friendly and helpful .
Course is is great condition from stripey fairways to true greens had a chat with green keeper on the 3rd you can tell they care and are passionate what they do in keeping course tip top condition. Layout has a testing variety of holes which get you thinking on club selection and distances with the 17th a great par 3 short but challenging terrific views of the firth of forth to add to the pleasure. Pace of play was good considering stuck behind 3 ball never had the chance to sample clubhouse next time for sure! was packed which tells you the grub must be good 👍
Oasis with great views
I thouroughly enjoyed my visit to Burntisland Golf Course, it's a challenge in places, so if you value your course management here is the course to test your skills. A lovely drive through from Edinburgh on a sunny day. The pro and members are super helpful and friendly. Kudos to the green staff as it is in pristine condition for the time of year.
I would/will recomend to friends and fellow golfers and it's another course to add to my favourite list within the Fife region. All in all a great days golf.

Lovely course
Great course with very interesting holes. Lovely views. Pro shop friendly and welcoming on arrival.
Great course, great welcome
We really enjoyed plating this course. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely be back and have already recommended this course to my friends.
Was a recommended course
Played here after playing Kinghorn and Aberdour and being recommended to play this.
Great deal on GolfNow and couldn't turn it down.
Arrived early for a bite and unluckily they don't serve hot food on a Sunday.....Luckily our host made us rolls and sausage when she didn't have to. Very much appreciated.
Course looked amazing, having played a few past 2 weeks and knowing its start of season, they have put a lot of effort into it. Very windy and had to be clever but greens were pure and you could trust your line. Views added to the course.
Locals were very polite and accommodating.
Will visit again.
Spring round
Been a while since I played Burntisland, but thoroughly enjoyed my round. Course looking good and weather to compliment it. Pro-shop staff as friendly and welcoming as ever.
Great course
Great course with lots of nice hikes. Not long but tricky. For it being March the course and grand were in fabulous condition. Well definitely come back and play again.
Good to be back
Always a pleasure to be back at Burntisland. Even though I never seem to bring my best game it’s always enjoyable to play especially on a sunny day.
Good challenging course with special views
While hilly, it's a tricky course with spectacular views. The pro was so helpful and friendly.
