An Open qualifying site. Thus, can prove to be a challenging test, with no tree-line fairways it may look simple but be warned! The rough at Gullane plays an extensive part.

CRAIGIELAW GC
18 Hole Links
Par 71
6601 Yards
With a SSS 73, two over the par - the elements involved within this links are very demanding. With wide open fairways and little rough there is not a lot of danger from the tee, however, green-side, multiple deep bunkers and large quick undulating greens make the short game a true test.
DUNBAR LINKS
18 Hole Links
Par 71
6404 Yards
 
A prestigious Links golf course set in the east. Been home to several Scottish boys and amateur events. Requires an accurate tee shot, but the real danger is around the greens with numerous bunkers and long undulating greens, with a lot of roll, the putter is a key figure.

GULLANE - No. 2
18 Hole Links
Par 71
6244 Yards
 
The second of three golf courses at Gullane. Plays home to Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University golf. Therefore, a high standard of golf is needed to take on this seaside links. A little more open than Gullane no.1 but with large, quick, sloping greens a hot putter must be brought.
LONGNIDDRY

Par 68
6260 Yards
 
Scenic links course of medium length with stunning views over the Firth of Forth.
