Burntisland Golf House Club

Burntisland Golf House Club was established in 1898, the modern successor to the Old Club, Burntisland Golf Club, founded in 1797 and reckoned the tenth oldest golf club in the world. The present 18-hole course was designed by two-time Open Champion Willie Park Jr., with Old Tom Morris himself having endorsed the High Bents site as suitable for a first-class course, and James Braid made further alterations in 1922. Set above the coastal fringe with views to Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh Castle and the Forth Bridges, it is a compact but demanding test with several sharply sloping fairways.
