You can play the North Berwick course without being punished by penal rough; one of the many delights of this links course. It’s not the longest course in the world but it’s extremely good fun and a unique experience. You’ll need to put your skills and experience to the test to negotiate stonewalls, deep bunkers, all kinds of humps and hollows and burns. You’ll be hitting blind shots and you’ll even have to hit shots out over the beach, truly fantastic golf.
The 15th is one of the world's most famous holes, being a par 3 measuring 190 yards, known as the guarding parapet. It is the most copied hole in golf. Bernard Darwin referred to this hole in his book, Golf Courses of the British Isles: “a beautiful one shot hole atop a plateau with a bunker short of the green, to the left, and another further on to the right, and we must vary our mode of attack according to the wind, playing a shot to come in from the right or making a direct frontal attack".
Opening Hours: Monday, Wednesday & Friday from 10.00 until 15.00
Tuesday & Thursday from 10.00 until 16.00
Sundays from 12.30. NO Saturdays
