Gullane ( No 2 )
Younger and shorter than No . 1 , this was laid out by the legendary Willie Park Jr , in 1898 . ( The No . 3 course was also laid out by Willie Park Jr and boasts the best views of the three .) No . 2 starts right beside No . 1 and keeps abreast of it for seven holes , climbing Gullane Hill , before slipping away and dropping down to Aberlady Bay . The bunkering is strong and , like its older sibling , of the pot variety . Only two holes are over 400 yards
( middle tees ) while the par threes are highly regarded . Indeed , the day ’ s best views are from the downhill 11th tee . The similarities between the two are strong and the shorter course often gets the nod in terms of popularity as its open landscape boasts intricately designed holes . It has been used for Open Championship Qualifying . www . gullanegolfclub . co . uk
