Edinburgh en East Lothian
Net ten oosten van Edinburgh ligt East Lothian, één van Schotlands bekendste golf regio's. Puur links golf aan de zuidelijke oever van de Firth of Forth.
Verreweg de meest beroemde, maar zeer besloten golfbaan van East Lothian is Muirfield, thuis van de 'Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers" en host van maar liefst 16 Open Championships. Maar het zijn de meer toegankelijke golfbanen als North Berwick, Dunbar, Gullane en de moderne links van de Renaissance Club & Archerfield die East Lothian zo aantrekkelijk maken voor uw volgende golfreis.
Het gebied is gemakkelijk te bereiken via de luchthaven van Edinburgh (dagelijkse vluchten) op maar 45 minuten rijden.

Muirfield
Muirfield Golf Club 7245 yards Par 71, Muirfield is one of the worlds great links courses which has hosted 16 Open Championships over its history with a very impressive list of winners. The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers moved to the Muirfield course in 1891 when Old Tom Morris was asked to design the course. In 1928 it was again altered by Harry Colt and Tom Simpson which made it into the links it is today. The routing of the course was very unique especially for the time with the course being arranged in two loops one inside the other and heads in the opposite directions which makes judging the wind a constant challenge.North Berwick Golf Club
North Berwick Golf Club 6506 yards Par 71, North Berwick is one of the great experiences in the world of golf. The course is similar to St Andrews in many ways including how it plays 9 holes out & 9 holes back into the town to a club that is reminiscent of the clubhouse of R & A at StAndrews. North Berwick is famous for being quirky with such famous holes as "The Pit", "Redan" and the extremely crazy 16th hole "Gate" which has a green with two tiers with a massive swale in between. The other feature of the course is the way a rock wall comes regularly into play.Gullane 1, 2 & 3
Gullane no. 1 - 6873 yards Par 71 Gullane no.2 - 6385 yards Par 71 Gullane no. 3 5257 yards Par 68 Golf has been played in Gullane for over 350 years and is synonymous with the region of East Lothian. Gullane has 3 courses which are famous for their beautiful seaside location, wonderful links turf and beautiful views. The no. 1 course is the most famous but in fact all three are more then worth playing. Gullane was the host to the 2015 Scottish Open won by Rickie Fowler using a composite course of no. 1 & 2.Craigielaw Golf Club
Craigielaw is one of East Lothian newer courses having been opened for play in 2001 and was designed by Donald Steel. The course doesn't have the dune system running through it that some do but don't let let that fool you, its home to some wonderful links golf. Craigielaw also has superb lodge style accommodation.Glen Golf Club
Glen Golf Club 6275 yards Par 70, The Glen or East Links is more of a cliff top course then a pure links but either way its a lovely course with stunning views over the Firth of Forth and the town of North Berwick. Not an overly long course but certainly a challenge to golfers of all levels.-
