A Hilly Challenge With A View

One of Fife's gems - not the longest course you'll ever play but with testing hills, quirky challenges and views to die for it's well worth checking out.

As always, course in great condition. Always a favourite to play, although tricky parts of the course too.

Kinghorn golf course

Lovely wee course for the beginner or mid to high handicap. Bit of a pitch and putt for the low handicapper

What a disappointment

Played Carnoustie Championship & Burnside courses 20&21/06/19. Grossly over rated and expensive, £220/£75. Burnside in very poor condition, patchy and bumpy greens, bare lies in first cut and rough. Championship not much better although it appears that an effort has been made to the greens, divots everywhere, bare lies. Maybe a hangover from The Open ?

Fun and challenging course!

Myself and 3 friends visited 18/5/19. After 2 holes we realised we?d never played a course quite like it. The terrain is wild on a few of the holes and some of the green positions are surprising (double check the card) No water hazards Some challenging short par 4s and some long par 4s! No par 5s. Nobody seemed to care about the dull weather. We definitely want to visit again, it was only the weather that let it down, because we couldn?t fully appreciate the views over the forth.

The jewel in the crown of the council courses

Very testing course with greens that are always hard to play and fairways with undulations to catch you out
