Golf Courses
East Lothian has often been called a golfer’s paradise. The region’s microclimate ensures more playable days than elsewhere in Scotland. Most of East Lothian’s golf courses are traditional Scottish links style with undulating fairways, hidden bunkers, gorse and heather lining the fairways.
With ten golf courses, including four championship courses, within 5 miles of Greywalls this has to be the perfect venue for anyone wishing to sample the full spectrum of Scottish Golf at its best.
Today Greywalls sits proudly alongside the clubhouse of the world renowned Muirfield. Guests can look out onto the course and across this famous landscape to the Firth of Forth and the Kingdom of Fife. Greywalls is able to offer guests exclusive golf packages. Please contact us for more information.
Muirfield
Muirfield is the most famous and one of just three private major courses in Scotland requiring private arrangements for play. Home to the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, Muirfield is regarded as the oldest Golf Club in the world having been originally founded in 1744. As host to The British Open 15 times Muirfield is ranked amongst the top fifty courses in the world.
Gullane
Gullane Golf Club is a private Members’ Club that welcomes visitors to play its three courses. Unlike many other Scottish links courses they are quite hilly which adds to the golf challenge and offers superb panoramic views over the Firth of Forth.
Luffness Golf Club
Just outside Gullane is Luffness New Golf Club, established in 1894 and designed by Old Tom Morris.
Archerfield
Archerfield Golf Club, adjacent to Greywalls, is one of Scotland’s newest clubs and has two magnificent courses - Fidra with an inviting mixture of pine forest and a fast-running Scottish links and Dirleton offering a more traditional Scottish links with sweeping fairways and undulating sand dunes bordering the fairways.
The Renaissance Course at Archerfield
The Renaissance Club consists of one eighteen hole championship golf course designed by the renowned American architect Tom Doak.
North Berwick
Like so many Scottish golf courses, North Berwick’s two links golf courses are open to the public as well as members. North Berwick Golf Club looks after the famous West Links course and The Glen is a popular alternative at the other end of the town. There is also a charming children’s course at North Berwick. Grown-ups will need nothing more than a seven iron - but it is a very popular little diversion.
Whitekirk and Dunbar
Further afield, less than 20 minutes drive, is the challenging course at Whitekirk - a hilly inland course with magnificent views over the East Lothian countryside - and Dunbar with its historic links course often used as a pre-qualifier for the British Open.
