Can we play it?

Yes, every day after 11.04am (after 12.30pm on Saturdays). Bring evidence of handicap: 36 or less for men, 45 or less for women. Add it to your trip and Scotland Golf Tours requests the tee time for you.

  • Access

    Visitors start daily after 11.04am, after 12.30pm on Saturdays; groups of 16+ after 12.30pm. Closed to visitors in winter (1 Nov–28 Feb on the club's booking notice).

  • The catch

    It's short (par 69 on the men's navy tees), and the 9th is a compulsory lay-up to the middle bunker by club rule.

  • Our tip

    Play it as an arrival-day or second round: it's about 40 minutes from Edinburgh Airport and a few minutes from Gullane.
