Bishopshire Golf Club

Intro: I visited Scotland together with my father in the middle of September this year (hcp 5 and 15). We stayed near Anstruther in a woderful cottage and played 9 out of ten days. Planning the trip I tried to find a interesting mixture of course typs for reasonable prices. I bought 5 bunkered coupons (2for1) which I highly recommend, if you want to play good courses for small money. Before this trip I had allready been to Fife once and to England and Ireland. All in all, the trip was just great and can not be compared to usual trips to Spain, Portugal or elsewhere, mainly because of: - the tradition of the courses and the different layouts - the value for money - the ease on the course, playing mostly two-balls in less then 4 hours - and even the weather... Main Part: I chose the Bishopshire because it is nearly on the way from the airport to the St. Andrews area but in a very different even same pitoresque area. We played there at a Sunday morning. After dropping 12 GPB p.p. (6 GBP within the week) into the starters box we had the course for our own. The course is situated between a "majestic" mountain and the Loch Leven on a heathland kind of ground. It is short, sometimes tricky, a lot of up and down, some greens not bigger than stamps and fairly good maintained. it was the perfect start for our trip on a great sunny, early morning. Resumee: If you are looking for a wee course with character and views for the price of two pintt, the Bishopshire is the right choice.

A great test of golf and stamina. Lovely wee golf course with lots of character.
