Musselburgh Links, and the golf club whose members drafted the first 13 Rules of Golf, the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, are both to be found in East Lothian. The County has played host to The Open Championship on 22 occasions and Willie Park Sr. the first ever champion was based at Musselburgh. The Ryder Cup, European Tour, Ladies European Tour and Seniors Tour Championships as well as every notable British Amateur Championship have all been staged in this small part of Scotland.

Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, was a notable golfer who fell foul of the Church for playing golf over the fields of Seton in East Lothian just a few days after the murder of her second husband, Lord Darnley in 1567 and later North Berwick became the first golf club to include women. The ‘Mother of Golf’ in the ‘Cradle of Golf’ - all part of the rich golfing heritage of the area.

Eight of the courses on Scotland’s Golf Coast feature in National Club Golfer’s Top 100 Links in the UK and Ireland [more than any other region], with Muirfield topping Golf Monthly’s list of Top 100 Courses in the UK and Ireland. This remarkable corner of Scotland the ‘Home of Golf’ features a depth, variety and quality of golf courses which can compete with any golf destination in the world. It is little wonder then that ‘National Club Golfer’ voted the area the No.1 Short Break Golf Destination in the UK.

Stunning coastal vistas are offered in abundance with no better an example than that of the seventh tee of

Gullane No.1 where you will find a 360-degree panorama described as the best view in golf, featuring eight of the courses in the area. Beautiful coastal surroundings also feature when playing Longniddry, host to the Scottish Open Qualifier in 2018, Kilspindie, Luffness New, North Berwick and The Glen. The journey along the coast comes to a glorious conclusion with Winterfield then Dunbar where three giants of the game Old Tom Morris, James Braid and Ben Sayers have created a course which lives long in the memory of all who play it.

However golf in the area is not confined to the coast with some spectacular inland courses including the James Braid designs at Musselburgh and Royal Musselburgh the fifth oldest golf club in the world, Castle Park, Haddington and Gifford, regularly voted amongst the best nine hole courses in the UK.

This rich wealth of historic courses is complemented by some recent additions. Craigielaw, opened in 2001, boasts more spectacular sea views and is the current home to the ‘Staysure Tour Scottish Senior Open’ and hosts the Titleist National Fitting Studio. Located within the Archerfield Estate can be found East Lothian’s newest gems; Archerfield Links which has already hosted European Men’s and Ladies’ Tour events as well as the Scottish Senior Open and is home of the Archerfield Performance Fitting Centre while The Renaissance Club not only hosted the 2017 Scottish Senior Open but is now a qualifying course for The Open.

For visitors, Scotland’s Golf Coast offers a diverse choice of accommodation, providing the perfect opportunity to rest, relax and reflect on the day’s round before thoughts turn to the prospect of the next round and breaking par. All of our accommodation provides easy access to our golf courses meaning no need to waste valuable time traveling from base to course, packing and unpacking and checking in and out of hotels, evidence indeed that the best drives in golf do not always need to be long and straight!

Spoilt for choice with 5-star luxury properties, smaller hotels, bed & breakfast pubs and homes, self-catering apartments and even centuries-old stately homes are all on offer. With much of the accommodation being ‘family run’ businesses, these proprietors take enormous pride in offering their guests the highest levels of service, comfort and an authentic experience showcasing all that East Lothian has to offer and always keen to advise their guests on the many attractions that are close at hand.

While golf is the magnet that draws many to East Lothian, the County has a lot more to offer both the golfer and

just as importantly the non-golfer. In addition to its proximity to Scotland’s Capital City, East Lothian boasts historic castles and battle sites mixed with the more modern National Museum of Flight with its Concorde exhibit, Foxlake Adventures, East Links Family Park and the Scottish Seabird Centre. John Muir, recognised as the Father of the US National Parks, was born in Dunbar and his birthplace is a popular visitor attraction located at the end of the John Muir Way, a walk or cycle route which stretches 134 miles [215km] across Scotland. Other forms of leisure ‘travel’ offered in the area include surfing in the North Sea amongst crashing waves, trekking on horseback along country paths or sandy beaches, riding a Segway through lush forests and if none of these appeal you can simply relax in an idyllic spa or treatment room.

No visit to an area can be enjoyed on an empty stomach and ‘Scotland’s Food & Drink County’ is another title that East Lothian is proud of. The visiting golfer can enjoy the quality locally grown produce served in the hotels and restaurants across the County under the Visit Scotland ‘Taste Our Best’ banner. Locally raised meats

With such a wealth of golfing experiences available and all courses an essential part of any golfer’s repertoire, the only option is to return again and again.

supplemented with locally-caught seafood are there to tempt the discerning diner. When washed down with a pint of beer or cider from one of many breweries based in East Lothian, or perhaps a ‘NB Gin’ or a dram of ‘Glenkinchie’ malt whisky, both local products, we aim to please the contented golfer.

With most of the golf clubs on Scotland’s Golf Coast recognised as ‘Members’ Clubs’ it is a regular occurrence for the departing golfer to remark on how welcome they have been made at each stage of their visit and in particular they comment on the warm reception received both in the clubhouse and from club members happy to pass on notes on the history of their club and tips of how best to play the course.

The visitor’s parting remark is usually “I’ll be back”; so “Haste ye back” to Scotland’s Golf Coast, where a warm welcome awaits you all.

At Archerfield Links, it’s golf as it’s meant to be. The great game but without any great fuss and bother. Here to be enjoyed by those who appreciate things done well. But never overdone.

More relaxed, more about you, and your enjoyment of the great game of golf. Archerfield is not just about playing golf (although, with golf courses this good it’s a close run thing!), it’s about an attitude of

mind. We think it’s our privilege that you have chosen us, not the other way round.

The Fidra LinksOut here, it feels as if it’s just you and the course. Golf has never been more inviting than this: the 18 hole Fidra Links is a unique mixture of pine forest and fast-running links.

The Dirleton LinksOn coastal land that has hosted golf for over 100 years, DJ Russell has created the 18 holes of the Dirleton Links. It’s a challenging expression of a traditional Scottish links course with its sweeping fairways, deep, menacing bunkers and undulating dunes bordering the fairways.

Visitor Experience tee times can be arranged from £200 per person.

Castle Park Golf Club

Nestled at the foot of the Lammermuir Hills, Castle Park is a breathtakingly beautiful golf course, with a state of the art, covered floodlit Driving Range. The 18 holes consist of two very different nines which provide an enjoyable challenge to golfers of all levels.

From the moment you enter our brilliant new clubhouse our friendly, helpful team will try to ensure that your golfing

experience is an enjoyable and memorable one from start to finish.

It’s hard to believe that such a beautiful, tranquil and accessible course is less than 20 miles from the centre of Edinburgh. It’s little wonder that visitors are often heard to say “this is like being on holiday”.

The owners here are very much focused on ‘golf for the future’ and Castle Park offers a very different experience to the other courses on the ‘East Lothian Golf Coast’. Voted in Sports Illustrated as “East Lothian’s hidden Gem”.

Don’t take our word for it though, come up and see for yourself why we are one of the fastest growing golf courses in Scotland.

Craigielaw Golf Club is located on East Lothian’s picturesque coastline, and only 30 minutes from the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland’s Historic Capital. Designed by world-renowned Links course architects Donald Steele & Co., Craigielaw truly offers a golfers’ paradise.

Dunbar Golf Club

A classic Scottish links course 30 miles from Edinburgh Airport, 25 from the City and on the main London to Edinburgh rail line, Dunbar presents a test for players of all levels.

With a proud history stretching back to 1856, the course was perfected over 150 years by three giants of the game, Old Tom Morris, James Braid and Ben Sayers. Blessed with a reputation for abundant sunshine the course lives long in the memory of all

who play it. Opening with two par 5’s it then hugs the coastline along a narrow strip of land within yards of the waves crashing onto the rocky shore. Stunning scenery and a welcoming clubhouse complete the memorable experience.

In addition to being an Open Qualifying course, Dunbar has hosted the PGA Championship, Scottish PGA and Scottish Amateur. The Ladies Home Internationals

and British Ladies Championship, as well as many Scottish Ladies events have been played over our links. Junior golfers are also regular visitors with Dunbar having hosted both the British Boys and Scottish Boys on numerous occasions.

We are confident you will share the view that no visit to East Lothian is complete without a round on a course regularly voted amongst the best in the country.

Gifford Golf ClubGents par 71 6129 yards Ladies par 73 5702 yards

This is a beautiful 9-hole course set in gently undulating parkland on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Gifford. With the Lammermuir Hills as a scenic backdrop and bounded by mature woods and farmlands, the course is maintained to the highest standards. It has a well-deserved reputation for its first-class greens, which are a challenge for even the best of golfers.

The course was laid out in 1904 and it has benefitted from the fact that during the first 100 years the club had only four head green keepers, indicative of their love for the course, continuity of maintenance and continued evolution. Subtle improvements are carried out annually and this can be seen in the recently renovated tees and bunkers throughout the course.

The clubhouse is small and comfortable, totally in keeping with a nine hole course and the original architecture has remained unchanged over the years. The staff provide light snacks and drinks, and with prior notice, freshly prepared meals can be provided for visiting parties.

Glen Golf Club

The East Links is a tricky combination of seaside links and headland holes, where the game has been played as far back as the 17th century. Over 100 years old, the original course design was provided by five times Open Champion James Braid and fellow golf professional Ben Sayers. This is a golfing

experience that is not to be missed, offering a challenge for players of all abilities. Elevated tees and greens throughout the course mean that careful club selection, consistency and confidence in iron play is vital. It is a year round course, benefiting from the drier East Lothian climate. Previous visitors frequently

comment on the breath-taking panoramic views and in particular the dramatic 13th hole, which tend to linger long in the memory of all who play here. Once in the clubhouse, players can continue to take-in the fantastic seascape views while enjoying a quality dining experience.

Gullane Golf Club

Host of the 2018 Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open from 12th-15th July and Ladies Scottish Open from 26th-29th July over a Championship course comprising 16 holes of Gullane No. 1 and 2 holes of No. 2.

Golf has been played over the links at Gullane for more than 350 years. Today, it is one of Scotland’s most prestigious member clubs, mixing the finest tradition with some of the most admired natural links land in the world.

Gullane is blessed with superb turf and a climate that allows all year round golf. Visitors are welcome to play our three championship courses, simply known by number reflecting their age. All offer dramatic coastal views and a golfing challenge to savour.

Gullane No.1

Gullane No.1 (1884) has a long history of hosting national and international championship golf events. Carved into the

ancient links turf, pot bunkers, wispy grasses and smooth-running greens offer a unique challenge for the serious golfer. Add to that the fabulous views and you have one of the world’s most cherished golfing experiences.

In 2013 it was voted in 21st place in the Top 100 Courses in Scotland by Today’s Golfer and the spectacular par five 3rd was recognised as one of the best holes in the world by Golf Magazine (USA).

Gullane No.2

Gullane No.2 (1898) was laid out by the legendary Willie Park Jr.

Running alongside No.1 for the first seven holes, the course sweeps down to a nature reserve next to Aberlady Bay before turning back towards home and the visitors’ clubhouse. The beauty of the coastline and the challenge of the layout create an unforgettable round that epitomises links

golf in Scotland. Whilst shorter than its older sibling it provides an equally stern test, with challenge and charm in equal doses.

Gullane No.3

Gullane No.3 was also designed by Willie Park Jr in 1910. It may be the shortest of the three courses, but it provides a wonderful test based on shot-making skills rather than power.

Of all the courses at Gullane, No.3 enjoys some of the best views across Aberlady Bay to Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth beyond. Spectacular and challenging, No.3 is a course that demands a deft touch and a cool head. This is no soft option, despite a lack of yards the course still present the classic Gullane challenge of strategic course management, true running greens and numerous bunkers to be avoided.

Haddington Golf Club

Haddington Golf Club is a long established parkland course incorporated within the boundaries of a former country estate. The course is set in peaceful walled surroundings with the River Tyne on its North Boundary.

Haddington is a beautiful golf course, featuring historical buildings, water features and mature trees lining most of the fairways. For nature lovers, sightings of deer, pheasant, grouse and otters are regular occurrences. The course is as aesthetically pleasing as it is challenging.

“In addition to being a links heaven, East Lothian also has some cracking parkland courses and this is undoubtedly one of them. The course is set in peaceful walled surroundings and provides a thoroughly enjoyable test throughout. Here, they also go out of their way to make visitors feel welcome, so don’t miss out on a real treat” Bunkered Magazine

Haddington Golf Club is a friendly and welcoming premier inland course, offering a different challenge to all levels of golfer compared to those enjoyed at the Links style courses within the local area.

With our excellent catering and bar services, you can be sure that if you are coming to Haddington you will be well taken care of.

Kilspindie Golf Club

Lying hidden among the nature reserve of Aberlady Bay, the quaint village of Aberlady, and the teaming waters of the Firth of Forth, Kilspindie Golf Club is one of the finest hidden gems any golfer can find. It is the 35th oldest golf club in the world, with the current course designed and first played on 26 November 1898. Retaining a wonderful charm and offering a great warmth of welcome, Kilspindie is a traditional Scottish seaside links designed by Ross and Sayers with later additions by Willie Park.

Kilspindie is a favourite of any golfer who has played the course: of medium length but with quick, deceptive greens; and well-defined fairways; the course is nonetheless a very good test of golf and a challenge to all, whatever your ability.

Several holes border the shoreline and each enjoys magnificent coastal views. Players may witness seabirds diving for food, migratory geese, and seals sunning on the sand. In the distance, you can see the profile

of Edinburgh, its Castle, and the long extinct volcanic cone of Arthur’s Seat. This all combines to create an experience of golfing beauty that you will be unlikely to forget in a hurry.

The clubhouse retains many of the original features and is a true celebration of the history of golf found in East Lothian. Whilst modern improvements have been made, the club’s friendly welcome has never changed, making all visitors feel very much at home.

Longniddry Golf Club

Longniddry is the closest seaside course to Edinburgh, located on the south shore of the Forth and only a 15 minute train ride from the city centre. The course comprises an unusual combination of woodland and links, with spectacular sea views from many holes. The laying out of the course in 1921 was entrusted to Harry S. Colt, one of the foremost architects of the day. There have been a number of alterations to Harry Colt’s original layout, notably in 1936, when James Braid was invited to advise on the second hole, following which a number of changes

were made to the course, although none, it would appear, to the second!

With no par 5’s and eight par 4’s measuring over 400 yards, Longniddry offers a very good test of golf for both members and visitors who come to enjoy some of the best golf available in Scotland.

Formerly an Open qualifying course, Longniddry Golf Club was honoured to be invited to host of the qualifier for the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish

Open in 2018. The two-round event on July 7th & 8th gives four players the opportunity to secure spots in the $7 million Rolex Series event at Gullane the following week. Longniddry will also host the opening team event in the World Hickory Festival which will be held again in East Lothian from 21st to 26th October 2018 when over 100 players from 20 countries are expected to take part. Longniddry is regularly asked to host amateur competitions such as the Scottish Ladies (Close) Amateur Championship which was held at Longniddry in 2013.

The North Berwick Golf Club

Formed in 1832 The North Berwick Golf Club and the West Links course is one of the most historic in Scotland. Golf has been played over the same piece of land since well before the club was formed: only The R&A has played over the same piece of land for longer.

A classic seaside links course with stunning views of the Firth of Forth, it is a fair and challenging test of golf for all players. It is

a true championship course having hosted many events over the years, including Final Qualifying for The Open Championship on 6 occasions, The British Ladies Amateur Championship in 2008, The Amateur Championship in 2010 and the inaugural 2015 Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open Pre-Qualifier.

Playing the course is all about imagination with the sea in play on 6 holes! The

beach is just one long and sometimes wet hazard if the tide is in. You will find walls in the middle of fairways and in front of a green. All of these hazards add to the joy of playing the West Links, and are an important part of our history charting the development of the course.

A warm and genuine welcome and an excellent experience await all coming to play the course.

Royal Musselburgh Golf Club

Royal Musselburgh Golf Club is the fifth oldest golf club in the world. In fact, The Old Club Cup, which has been awarded at Royal Musselburgh Golf Club since 1774, is the oldest trophy still competitively played for in the world.

For their first 150 years, the (Royal) Musselburgh Golf Club played over the Old Course at Musselburgh, sharing it with other old and prestigious clubs, most notably, for the last years of the 19th Century, the

(Royal) Burgess, The Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers and Bruntsfield Links Golfing Society.

Designed by the famous Open champion and golf architect, James Braid, Royal Musselburgh Golf Club sits on an elevated position overlooking the Firth of Forth. It is a picturesque parkland course kept in immaculate condition and is a treat to play, especially when you are coming into the home stretch on the last five holes. Although

not the longest course, the challenge is ensuring accuracy off the tee and precision fairway shots.

The experience is completed by the clubhouse; Prestongrange House is one of the most spectacular clubhouses in Scotland. The house has at its core a Norman Tower House and is a wonderful example of Scottish architecture, in which a warm welcome awaits all visitors.

Winterf ield Golf Club

Winterfield is a little gem of a course located in the popular seaside town of Dunbar. Situated right on the coast, you are welcomed to the stunning sea views of the Firth of Forth, the Bass Rock and the Isle of May with the Lammermuir Hills as a backdrop.

It’s a relatively short course in terms of distance, but don’t let this fool you! There are 8 par 3’s, but only one is less than 170 yards, making it a challenging game for even the very best. The first is a cracker. From the tee, it’s a 220 yard carry over a ravine to reach the pin.

Let’s just say it’s not the easiest of opening tee shots. While you’ll be put to the test on the opening 9, the rewards are plentiful on the back. With a stretch of holes looking out to the Bass Rock and neighbouring Belhaven Beach, Winterfield is simply stunning. Once played, this course is never forgotten.

Scotland is world-famous for its whisky and Glenkinchie is one of the few remaining lowland distilleries still in production. Glenkinchie Distillery is situated a couple of miles from Pencaitland, amid the rolling Lammermuir Hills and rich agricultural farmland of East Lothian. Established in 1837 by local farmers John and George Rate, the distillery became the Glenkinchie Distillery Co. in 1890 and in 1914, it became one of five Lowland distilleries that formed the Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd.

The distillery’s visitor centre offers a range of tours, all of which end in a tasting, where there is guaranteed to be a flavour to suit every palate. The fascinating exhibition includes a twenty-foot model of a distillery that was displayed in the Palace of Industry at the British Empire Exhibition of 1923-25, and the still house boasts the largest copper pot in Scotland.

Then browse the fantastic shop, where you can make use of the discount voucher you

will receive on your welcome to the distillery. Glenkinchie operates a daily return transport service from Edinburgh city centre.

Whether you’re a dedicated distillery ‘bagger’ or just wanting to find out more about this fascinating industry, make Glenkinchie part of your itinerary.
