Tuesday 16 June
Itinerary
Golf has been played over the links at Gullane
since the 1700s and today Gullane Golf Club is one
of Scotland’s most prestigious members’ clubs.
The Champion’s Links
The 6,600 yard par 71 links course
Gullane No.2 was designed in 1898
by Willie Park Jnr who was Open
Champion in 1885 and 1887 and a
renowned golf architect, designing
other high-profile courses such as
Sunningdale Old and Olympia Fields.
Named because it was the second
course to be created at Gullane, No.2 is
also a championship links, having hosted
national amateur championships and
The Open Final Qualifying.
Gullane No.2 is a major challenge for
golfers of all levels and abilities. Each
nine can play easy or hard depending
on the wind direction and the views are
simply stunning.

The par 4 4th hole is one of the best
holes at Gullane and not only for its view
down over the courses to the Firth of
Forth. A challenging downhill drive sets
up a medium-to long-iron approach over
five cross bunkers to a generous green
with a deep swale on the right. Par here
is always a good score!
From Babe Zacharias to Peter Thomson,
many great champions have competed
and won on No.2 and it is regarded by
many members as their favourite course.
