The Anstruther Golf Club was founded in 1890
has seen many changes over the years, from a 7 hole course, with trenches through
the middle and poles scattered over the greens to stop gliders landing during
the war. In more peaceful times this has developed into a magnificent 9 hole course
that is both a pleasure and a challenge to play. Stretched along the shoreline
between Pittenweem and Anstruther the views are spectacular and the coastline
adds to the complexity of the round with winds off the sea and bankings heading
towards the beach. 
The
7 hole course was extended in 1916 to the 9 hole course, after the attempts of
building an 18 hole course had failed due to lack of financial support. The holes
have changed slightly too with many of them being altered in the way the round
is played, the last major alteration being in 1961 when the Monument was changed
from the 8th to the 2nd to avoid a double crossing on the Chain Road. 
All of the names given to the holes have a relevance to the course, for example
the Magazine is so called due to the fact that one of the Huts beside the hole
was used during the war to house the magazines of ammunition. The club is now
thriving and is part of the best area in Scotland for golfing and only 9 miles
from the Home of Golf and the renowned Old Course of St Andrews. Open all year
round it caters for all, Gents Ladies Seniors and Juniors and even the youngsters
with a putting green and beach just at the doorstep.
