Welcome
..... to Pitreavie Golf Club, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland

At Pitreavie you can enjoy an 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".

Gaining a wide reputation, MacKenzie made his first
world tour in 1926 from which arose such splendid
layouts as Royal Melbourne, Royal Queensland and
Titirangi. Later he returned to the US to design Cypress
Point Club, Pasatiempo at Santa Cruz and, of course,
Augusta National in Georgia, after completing Pitreavie.
MacKenzie's forte was his greens. He refrained from
flattening natural undulations and contrived to create
artificial undulations that were "indistinguishable from
nature".
By the end of his career MacKenzie had laid out some 400
golf courses in England, Scotland, Australia, New
Zealand and the US.
If you
live in Fife, or if you are just visiting, why don't you
treat yourself to a game and enjoy the spectacular views
of Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth along the way.
A warm welcome awaits
you and your friends
