Set on the shores of the Firth of Forth in rugged East Lothian, Gullane offers three superb links courses: Gullane Number 1, 2 and 3. Regarded as the toughest and best of the three, Gullane No. 1 frequently hosts final qualifying for the British Open and has also hosted many major amateur events. With water hazards and trees absent, as is the norm with links golf, gorse thickets, wind, rough, tight fairways, bunkers and well-guarded greens, ensure the course is a fair but serious challenge. Nowhere on the course do the panoramic views get better than the view from the top of Gullane Hill and the 7th tee. Described by renowned writer Bernard Darwin as "one of the best views in golf", on a clear day one can see for miles with the Lammermuir Hills, Firth of Forth and Bass Rock making up the stunning panorama.
