Golf nearby:

 

Muirfield Golf Course
From the championship tees, the course stretches to a formidable 6,970 yards and still adds up to a par-70 6,601 yards off the medal tees. Although the thick rough and cavernous bunkers, of which there are 151, can make it a very severe test, it is a course which invokes respect from all who have tangled with it. Henry Cotton called it ‘cruelly fair’. Tom Watson said there was ‘not a weak hole on the course’

 

Luffness New Golf Club
One can be astonished in middle age to walk off the 18th green feeling so invigorated and refreshed. The nature of the turf probably has something to do with this, being of the springy type which gives gently to the feet, like a rich Persian carpet. The sea air too has its beneficial qualities and the course is sensibly flat apart from minor undulations associated with seaside courses.

 

Craigielaw Golf Course
Inspired by the great links courses of Britain, particularly those on land which are less dominated by dunes, Craigielaw is equal to many of the finest examples of such courses; some of which are conveniently located nearby in the East Lothian area. With challenging greens, cavernous bunkers and spectacular views over the Firth of Forth, Gullane Hill and out towards Edinburgh and Fife, Craigielaw Golf Club is an experience not to be missed.

Gullane Golf Club
Gullane Golf Club offers championship quality links courses with dramatic views across the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh and Fife. The three Courses do not have names but simply numbers which reflect their age.
Gullane No. 1 has a long history of hosting international Championship events and is an Open Championship Qualifying Course. Gullane No.2 has also been used for Open Championship Qualifying. Gullane No.3, whilst being the shortest, still provides a stern challenge for golfers of all abilities.

 

East Lothian lays claim to being the birthplace of golf in the 15th century, boasting excellent courses. including Archerfield Links, The Renaissance, North Berwick, Dunbar, and Royal Musselburgh (the oldest course in Scotland), among others. All clubs offer a warm welcome to visitors.
