This is one of the most important regions for golf in Europe, if not the world. There are three championship links courses at Gullane. You will be playing course No. 3. All of the courses are characterized by stunning views across the Firth of Forth to Fife and as with all great links courses, the deep pot-bunkers and wild rough are to be avoided at all cost. The No. 3 course was designed by the legendary James Baird. North Berwick West Links (Par 71, 6464 yards) You will discover at North Berwick a Club steeped in tradition dating from 1832, providing generous hospitality and a testing golf challenge. The course is a traditional links, which like St Andrews, starts and finishes at the clubhouse within the town, having wound its way along the Firth of Forth. There are stunning views over white sandy beaches, islands and across to the hills of the East Neuk of Fife. The club is one of the world’s oldest golf clubs and in the 19th Century it hosted many of the legendary challenge matches. Today it is proud to be a Final Qualifying venue for the Open Championship, when held at nearby Muirfield, the next occasion being in 2013. In June 2010, the club co-hosted The Amateur Championship with Muirfield, which featured 300 of the best gentlemen amateur golfers in the world. Page 2 of 6 Archerfield Fidra Golf Course (Par 72, 6,201 yards) Any new golf course bounded on two sides by world-class golfing venues must be good if it is to stand comparison with its illustrious, long established neighbours. The Archerfield Fidra course lies between the 8th hole at Muirfield and 9th hole at North Berwick and, although it only opened for play in 2004, the Fidra blends very well into the group of premium golfing destinations in this corner of East Lothian. Archerfield Links is a private members club, vying with Loch Lomond on the other side of the country for the title of most exclusive golf location north of the border. Golf has been played on the Archerfield estate for a number of centuries and the original 6-hole course was extended to 13 holes in 1869. James Law, former owner of the Scotsman newspaper, enlisted Ben Sayers, the North Berwick professional, to extend the course to a full 18-hole layout around 1910 before the grounds were taken over by the Ministry of Defence during the Second World War. The Fidra course measures almost 7,000 yards though there are four sets of tees at every hole to allow for varying abilities. Greens are large and receptive, with subtle borrows to test the best of putters. Many putting surfaces have run-up areas in front, enabling golfers to play a traditional bump-and-run shot along the ground.
