Anstruther Golf Club

Anstruther Golf Club was formally established on 3 November 1890 and opened its course at Billowness, Anstruther Wester, on 8 April 1891, having begun with seven holes before expanding to nine by 1893 on the advice of Old Tom Morris. The layout has remained largely unchanged since 1916, surviving a period as a municipal course in the First World War and a full closure from 1940 to 1946 during the Second. Perched on the East Neuk coastline, the club has depended on volunteer labour and member commitment throughout its 130-plus year history, with its current clubhouse dating from 1984.
