Comments: Attractive, welcoming course...Real links golf with roads, walls, burns, humps and hollows... Knee-length rough a bit of a bind... A course with everything... Really fun course - what the game is all about...The ideal place to be, not as busy as Gullane and twice as welcoming. Great location and best course in the area... Designed by the sands of time. . . Watch out for the famous Redan... Prepare to be humbled by the North Berwick experience... We would die for something like this in the States.

Comments: Pleasant parkland layout that is not too tight from the tee . . . Some great panoramic views, especially from the first tee, which looks directly towards Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. . . Par-44th is probably the toughest hole on the course, especially if you tangle with the trees... Decent off-course facilities.
