Burntisland Golf Club

Burntisland Golf Club sits above the small coastal town of Burntisland on the south Fife shore — a Fife Golf Trust course managed alongside the Trust's network of 14 public facilities across the Kingdom. The course occupies elevated parkland with views across the Firth of Forth toward Edinburgh and the Lothians coast on clear days. Par 65: shorter than a full-length course, calibrated for regular local play and accessible to golfers of all abilities.

The shorter par reflects the course's position in the Trust network. What it provides is a genuine 18-hole round on maintained parkland in a setting that gives Forth Estuary views that some courses charge considerably more for. The condition is consistent with the Trust network standard — functional and honest rather than polished, with greens that hold their pace through the season.

Green fee is £25–35. Burntisland is on the Edinburgh–Dundee railway: 25 minutes from Edinburgh Waverley. The town's Kirk of Burntisland — a remarkable square-plan 1592 church that hosted a General Assembly where James VI authorised a new Bible translation — is five minutes from the course. For golfers combining Trust courses with south Fife coast walking, Burntisland makes a sensible addition to a Fife itinerary.
