Golf was first played on the East Links, North Berwick in the 17th century, although a nine- hole course did not come into being until 1894. It was extended to 18 holes in 1906 with a design provided by five times Open Champion, James Braid and his design partner Ben Sayers. Suiting players of all abilities the course is challenging, but fair. This North Berwick course enjoys spectacular headland views across the Firth of Forth and of the Bass Rock, which boasts the largest gannet colony in the UK.
