The North Berwick Golf Club is the thirteenth oldest in the world, founded in 1832 by a group of local landowners and gentlemen, among them a soldier who fought in Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo.
A list of past captains on the wall in the clubhouse proudly displays a distinguished past - Knights, Earls, Lords, Marquis and a former British Prime Minister, A.J.Balfour!
Used as an Open Championship qualifying course when the Open is at Muirfield, North Berwick has the reputation as being a real shot maker's course. Not the longest of layouts but testing all the same. Excellent view from the links right over to Fife on a clear day.
24 miles east of Edinburgh. Take the A1 to Meadowmill roundabout then the A198 to North Berwick. |
