About this course

At Pitreavie Dunfermline Golf Club in Fife, you can enjoy a warm Scottish welcome on our 18-hole parkland course, which was designed by the legendary Dr. Alister MacKenzie – Dr Alister MacKenzie (1870-1934) Although born in Yorkshire in 1870, Alister MacKenzie had some effect on Scottish golf and was a great enthusiast of Scottish links. He declared soon after, when he took up golf course design, that it was his interest to "imitate the natural features characteristic of the only golf courses that were worthwhile", i.e. links. He then set about bringing these features to all his course designs, no matter what their proximity to the sea. MacKenzie was a particular admirer of the Old Course at St Andrews and he brought this passion for the "Old Lady" into many of his designs. His other stated objective was to create golf courses that were interesting to play for the "average golfer" as well as the "scratch man".
