Gullane Golf Club
About this course
Gullane Golf Club, situated on the East Lothian coast near North Berwick, operates three full courses on the undulating linksland that characterizes this celebrated golfing region. The Children's course is a shorter layout designed to introduce young players to links golf while remaining accessible to golfers of all abilities seeking a more relaxed round. Like the club's other courses, it occupies terrain shaped by the natural contours of Scottish coastal dunes and rough grassland, offering the firm fairways and unpredictable bounces typical of links play. The course benefits from Gullane's setting within one of Scotland's most storied golfing landscapes. The surrounding area has hosted significant competitive golf for over a century, and the club itself maintains a strong tradition of amateur and junior development. The Children's course provides an introduction to the strategic demands of links golf—reading wind, managing ball flight, and navigating natural hazards—without the length or severity of the club's championship layouts. Gullane's membership culture reflects its standing as a serious amateur club with deep roots in Scottish golf. The clubhouse and facilities serve all three courses, and the club maintains active competitive schedules across age groups and handicap categories. The Children's course allows families and junior golfers to experience authentic links conditions and club traditions while developing their game on terrain that has shaped Scottish golf for generations.

Getting there
The journey to Gullane Golf Club begins at Edinburgh Airport (EDI), a swift forty-minute drive east along the A1 and A198 coastal route that carries you from Scotland's capital through the rolling farmland of East Lothian toward the North Sea. As the landscape opens onto the Firth of Forth, the road descends gently into the village of Gullane, where the club's dignified sandstone clubhouse emerges against the backdrop of links turf and distant water - a transition from urban sophistication to the windswept, timeless character of Scottish golf. For those arriving by private aviation, Turnhouse or Prestwick offer convenient alternatives, though the overland approach from Edinburgh captures the authentic passage into one of Britain's most venerable golfing destinations, where the game has been played since the 1600s.
