Gullane - No.3 Course

About

Holes 18
Type Private
Style Links
Par 68
Length 5259 yards
Slope N/A
Rating N/A

The Gullane Golf Club No. 3 Course was ready for play in 1910, and now the first and last trios of holes sit on the east side of Highway A198. The other 12 holes lie on the south side of Gullane Hill and offer wonderful views across the Aberlady Bay, of Edinburgh and Firth of Forth.

Do not let the official yardage mislead you: At 5,259 yards, the par-68 golf course looks small, maybe simple, and there's only a single par-5, the 443-yard 14th.

This course, however, will test the most experienced golfer.

this time was more challenging with a strong wind.
As usual the course was in great condition and set out very well! this course presents a great challenge to the average golfer and is always a pleasure to play.
speed of play was very good the staff very welcoming
and as usual a great day out.
I will most definitely be playing this gem of a course

Gullane's best Value

Played this on the same day as #1 in the afternoon. This is Gullane's best value. You can get a day ticket for about $60-65. It can be added as part of a ticket to the other two courses for about $30 pounds.
All three courses go up and down on Gullane Hill and have the same wonderful views of the sea. Despite being only 5400 yards, get a two club wind and you will have the same shot-making requirements as the other two courses. The holes are still full of quality and strategy. The bunkering is even similar. The big hitter couldn't just hit it and find it like they think they could. Saw plenty of people looking for balls and changing their approach. I found this to be a fun round and a great way to warm up for a vacation in Scotland. Short course, but not short on anything of golfing joy. The only other thing that is short is the amount of time to walk 18 holes. Golf the way it was and should be everywhere-walked and played in under 3 hours.
