Welcome to
The Golf House Club, Elie

One of the many joys of golf, is the variety and vagaries of different clubs and courses. If there are a league of idiosyncratic clubs then the Golf House Club would be in with the best of them.

The name for a start, gives you a taste for what is to come. A number of  clubs have salvaged masts from former sailing ships, from which they hang their flag, but here thay have gone for something nautically different - 30ft of periscope from HMS Excalibur. Its presence by the first tee is to ensure the way is clear down the first, as there is a blind tee shot over a hill some 50 yards from the tee.

The thought of a blind tee shot off the first tee would to many be unthinkable, not here; in fact this is the first of many blind shots round a course that has no par 5s and only 2 par 3s. It might be relatively short at 6273 yards but make no mistake, this is a true test of golf and a very enjoyable one at that.
