The Glen Golf Club – North Berwick East Links

Most of The Glen Golf Club – North Berwick East Links ( as it has recently been rebranded ) plays on a high plateau looking over the Firth of Forth , Bass Rock and Fidra ; as well as North Berwick town below . It is a stirring place to be . This is a seaside course playing over rolling terrain and it is famous for its 1st hole with the steep approach to the green . At least you can look at the attractive views while you catch your breath at the top .
Several holes balance on the cliff tops and the par three 13th hole is undoubtedly the club ’ s signature hole as your tee shot drops to a green with beach and rocks pressing in from the right . It is likened to Pebble Beach ’ s 16th and it ’ s not hard to see why . The landscape here is exposed so the wind will toy with you constantly as you march across slopes that twist this way and that . It is not too long and the greens won ’ t play tricks on you so it provides an ideal foil to the North Berwick links at the other end of town . The downhill drive on the 18th ( parallel to the Ist ) promises an exhilarating finish .
