Tee Off in Scotland » Gullane No.2

6,244 yards • par 71

The No.2 Course at Gullane was built at the end of the 19th century to accommodate the increasing numbers of golfers wanting to play on the Gullane links.

The golf here is hillier than at many of Scotland’s classic links venues because of the Gullane Hill, a huge mass of basalt rock which trapped the sand blown from Aberlady Bay and which eventually stabilised into the undulating links terrain of today.

However, the amount of climbing involved is a lot less than the visitor might think at first glance. The No.2 course shares the same wonderful turf and superb putting surfaces as the No 1 course.

Gullane No.2 Course was built in 1898 and the first and last holes of the course are on the east side of the A198 road. The Course runs alongside No.1 for the first seven holes and then sweeps down to the nature reserve next to Aberlady Bay, before turning back towards the Visitors’ Clubhouse.

One feature of the Course is its excellent short holes, particularly the 11th with its magnificent view and tricky club selection.
