East Lothian A1 Countryside Route

Duration: 4 days

If you don't feel up to the challenge of our championship links courses why not test your ability at some of East Lothian's most picturesque settings located a short drive from the A1?

Haddington

This parkland course set in a former country estate with mature trees and the River Tyne bordering the course provides an enjoyable round for all levels of golfers. Lots of long holes demand accurate, reliable iron-play and alterations to the back nine mean that water hazards are now a major obstacle on the home stretch.

Winterfield

Winterfield's coastal location means that the wind plays a major role. A long sequence of holes takes players out on a headland into the North Sea so an ability to manage the ball in windy conditions is essential. There are eight par 3's on the course but many are well over 200 yards long.

Castle Park

This is a pay and play course, set amid the mature woodland estate of Yester Castle. The front nine were added in 2002 and while not as mature as the second half of the course they include the challenge of 'Watershipdown' with its fairway splitting lake and dual level green.

Situated on the edge of the picturesque village of Gifford, this is an outstanding nine-hole parkland course with the Lammermuir hills as its backdrop. Its enormous, first class greens are playable all year round and any putting weaknesses will be exposed here. For variation there are two sets of tees to the 1st/10th green and the 5th/14th.
