Eyemouth Golf Club
About this course
Eyemouth Golf Club sits on clifftop land overlooking the North Sea in the Scottish Borders, one of the few courses in this southeastern corner of Scotland with direct coastal exposure. James Bain laid out the course in the early twentieth century, creating a links-style layout that takes advantage of the dramatic seaside setting. The town of Eyemouth itself is a working fishing port with a long maritime history, and the course occupies elevated ground above the harbor and coastline. The routing makes full use of the clifftop terrain, with several holes playing along the edge of the cliffs and offering views across the water toward the English coast to the south. The layout features the firm turf and natural contours typical of Scottish seaside golf, though the exposed position means wind is a constant factor in club selection and strategy. The course is relatively compact, but the combination of elevation changes, coastal breezes, and the proximity to the cliff edges creates a distinctive challenge. Eyemouth serves a local membership and welcomes visitors exploring golf in the Borders region, an area less traveled than the famous links territories of Fife or Ayrshire to the north. The club maintains traditional Scottish golf club customs, with a modest clubhouse that reflects its community roots. The course provides an authentic seaside experience in a quieter corner of Scottish golf, where the focus remains on straightforward links play in a rugged coastal landscape.
