Irvine,
Ayrshire.
18 holes - 6763 yards - SSS73
Lord Brabazon once suggested that if you have
time to play only three courses in the region,
then Turnberry, Prestwick and Western Gailes
should get the vote. This is an Open qualifying
course which is really geared for the better
golfer. With two par 5's and three par 3's
the remaining par 4's are all stiff tests,
which can prove to be a trial of endurance
for weaker golfers. |

Gullane,
East Lothian.
No 1 - 18 holes - 6466 yards - SSS71
No 2 - 18 holes - 6219 yards - SSS70
No 3 - 18 holes - 5128 yards - SSS65
The No.1 course is used as an Open qualifier
but all three courses provide excellent tests.
As the holes manoeuvre round the hill, the
wind buffets you from all directions and your
skills will be tested to the fullest. |

North Berwick,
East Lothian.
18 holes - 6315 yards - SSS70
This is a barren links exposed to the sea
winds. A course steeped in history and used
for national tournaments, where you will encounter
greens near stony beaches, blind shots and
ridges across fairways. There is even a wall
across the front of the 13th green which has
to be negotiated. This hole, chosen as one
of the finest holes in Britain, and featured
in a recent TV series, has been imitated by
modern course designers, most notably by the
National Golf Links of America, who have borrowed
the name 'Redan'. |

This old famous course has held many prestigious
events over the years. One of the highest
rated links in Great Britain, there are many
eye catching features, most notably the quality
of the opening and finishing holes. |

Crail, Fife
18 holes - 5720 yards - SSS68
We highly recommend that you play on this
immaculate links course. Only 5720 yards but
with an imaginative and tricky layout, this
course is one you will remember. Always in
good condition with panoramic views of the
sea, you will want to come back for more.

One of the most severe links on this east
coast with undulating fairways being flanked
by fir trees. A course used for national championships.
A good test for all golfers. |
