Overview

Wee Burn Country Club got its name from Andrew Carnegie, of all people, who suggested the stony brook that weaves throughout the course should merit the name Wee Burn, as it would've been called in Scotland. The name stuck, and Devereux Emmet routed the course artfully around that burn. Wee Burn has removed a significant number of trees in recent years, amplifying its already pristine conditioning and allowing the course to play closer to its original intent. Wee Burn presents golfers with plenty of scoring opportunities if they execute their shots correctly, providing for a difficult, yet enjoyable challenge.
