North Berwick
On such a famous links it is easy to focus on North Berwick being the third oldest club in the world … but what sets it even more apart is the enthralling , often quirky and always brilliant course you will be playing . This links boasts low stone walls slipping across holes and in front of greens , bare rock exposed on a fairway or two , beaches in play and dunes which are low and rhythmic . Holes constantly deliver an electric jolt of the unexpected as you head out and back in a classic links layout . The course offers wonderful views over the Firth of Forth , but its openness means any wind will influence your strategy and , with the natural and bold shapes , all of your skills will be tested . At least the rough is kept low to speed play along . The famous 13th hole , with its green protected by a wall , makes North Berwick bucket list stuff … but so do several others , including the 16th with its Biarritz green and the par-3 15th , named Redan … a word recognisable around the golfing world to describe a particular green shape . www . northberwickgolfclub . com
