Gullane - No.3 Course

About

Holes 18
Type Private
Style Links
Par 67
Length 5134 yards
Slope 114
Rating 65.3

The Gullane Golf Club No. 3 Course was ready for play in 1910, and now the first and last trios of holes sit on the east side of Highway A198. The other 12 holes lie on the south side of Gullane Hill and offer wonderful views across the Aberlady Bay, of Edinburgh and Firth of Forth.

Do not let the official yardage mislead you: At 5,259 yards, the par-68 golf course looks small, maybe simple, and there's only a single par-5, the 443-yard 14th.

This course, however, will test the most experienced golfer.

Don't miss this!!

Played Gullane 3 with my wife who is a relative newcomer and very sceptical about playing somewhere so iconic . Fear not we both loved it , absolutely beautiful course ,fantastic greens and scenery to die for . A very playable and enjoyable course, that's coming from a 6 handicapper and a 28 handicapper. Get it on your list you won't be disappointed .

Great coarse

Played Gullane 3 just after 5 days of heavy rain and winds. Got 20 free balls on range to start. Tee’d of on time and had a group of 3 in front but didn’t really slow us down. Fairways excellent for time of year with sections you had to use a small mat to play your shot. Great ideas to let the fairways repair. Greens absolutely superb. Typical links fast and hard to read.

All in all 10/10 . Will definitely be back to try the others.

A Wee Gem

Not the longest, but with the wind, a great test. By far the best greens I’ve putted on this year, even in late September. The whole facility and staff are fantastic and this will not be my last visit to Gullane, a must for any golfer!

Excellent afternoon of golf.

Excellent course. There are a few challenging holes but most are straightforward. The rough is generous and you are not penalised too much for an errant drive. Staff were excellent. You get free balls for the driving range to warm up with too.

Will definitely be playing again! Or maybe do Gullane #2 next time.
