Burntisland Golf House Club in the Kingdom of Fife, the Home of Golf, steeped in the history and traditions of the game was founded in 1898.It is also the home of the "Old Club" -the Burntisland Golf Club, founded in 1797- the 10th oldest club in the world! " We welcome all golfers to this the 150th Anniversary year of the foundation of the Open Championship to be played at St Andrews,only 40 miles from us, on 15-18 July. We hope that you will also play here and enjoy it!
Burntisland, an 18-hole parkland course @5995 yards, par 70, is set above the coastal fringe, and was designed by the legendary Willie Park Junior of Musselburgh fame-Twice Open Champion and " the Man who took Golf to the World" - on the recommendation of no less a golfer than Old Tom Morris himself. As Old Tom reported " I went over the ground at High Bents and my opinion is that it would make a first class golf course" Our predecessors did precisely that! James Braid also made some alterations in 1922 - so we have pedigree. A few minor changes and re-sited bunkers to suit changing conditions have been introduced since then, but the course still reflects the basic design. The first 9 holes opened in Autumn 1897 and the full course on 1 May 1898.
The course is largely flat but there are 4 hillier/sloping holes (7,9,10 and 11)-which are well worth the (short) climbs and descents to take in the great views from the greens at 8 and 9. There are also 3 blind /bell holes, designed to test your club selection, nerve and skill to gain the fast greens. A variety of challenges requiring ambition and imagination!
Burntisland is a proud and founder member of the "First in Fife" Golfpass, now in its 7th year.
