Burnside 5th
Burnside 5th
 

The Burnside is often overshadowed by it’s illustrious neighbour but it oozes character and from the back tees is a splendid test of golf.

Many of the short holes would grace any links course anywhere with the 5th and 14th in particular providing dramatic challenges for the player who strives to gain his par 3.

The finish is also strong with the 17th proving to be one of the hardest par 4’s that can be found anywhere in golf and many a score has been ruined by the out of bounds fence at the 18th.
