The town of Anstruther (locally Anster) lies in the East Neck of Fife on the east coast of Scotland. The town is split between the areas of Wester and Easter Anstruther and it is to the west on the coastline that the golf course can be found.
The first golf course was opened as a seven hole course on April 8th 1891 with a tiny building serving as a clubhouse perched on the edge of the coast. Two years later land was acquired to the east and the course extended to nine holes. These holes are now the current opening and closing holes, which they would become in 1922 when a new clubhouse was opened at Marsfield on the edge of the town.
Despite attempts to extend the course to eighteen holes, it remains largely the same as it was when it was created except fort the changing of the order of holes with the opening of the clubhouse.
The course features many blind shots with four par fours and five short holes, including three on the trot out at the far end of the course, which includes a line of holes running along the shoreline.
