Gifford Golf Club

Gifford is yet another East Lothian golfing gem, perhaps not in the same league as its county’s more illustrious destinations, but set amidst the rural hinterland, off the usual tourist track, it weaves its way through leafy green woods, uphill and down dale and a little stream meandering through several holes, ready to catch the unwary. Not the longest track by any means but always interesting and pretty tight in places. A 9 hole layout, but several holes play from different tee on the second lap. Greens weren’t overly fast but perfectly true and in excellent condition. Stand out holes are the 2nd and the 8th (11th and 17th on the back nine) both of which make the most of the stream. We got 18 holes for £20. Hard to beat for value.

One of the best courses I’ve played in East Lothian.

The course itself is well maintained, would recommend to friends

Course in Good condition speed of play dreadful late Friday afternoon paid for 18 walked after 9 to slow.

Had an enjoyable round at this well maintained parkland course. 9 holes with some different tees on 2nd 9. Decent catering in clubhouse.

This is a must play course, Excellent layout, some fantastic holes, The course was in absolute pristine condition , greens very undulating and tricky to read , Off the course the staff were very friendly as were the members , I’d throughly recommend this fantastic 9/18 holer ,

Before i go off on a rant about golf pricing in East Lothian, just play this course. It's a 'must play' on your tour. Yes, it's 9 holes, played as 18, but don't let that put you off. The back 9 is set up different to the front 9. Manicured fairways, above average green speed. Plenty of undulations on the greens, and pars/birdies are mitigated by well-positioned hillocks and bunkers. Clubhouse is tiny, but buzzing, full of genuine golfers, and a nice bloke called Andy who'll make your breakfast.

As for golf pricing on Scotland's 'golf coast', too many courses now pricing for the deep pockets of international golf tourists who pay for bragging rights. As a Scot who knows the golf in this area well, many of these courses are not worth the 3-figure price. Gifford, on the other hand, is huge value for money. Play it!

Good 9 hole parrkland ourse in excellent condition greens very difficult to read. Very friendly & helpful staff especially club secretary

Decent menu for eating..

Played there today with my partner golf course was in excellent condition greens where excellent staff super friendly also food excellent definitely recommend it if you have spare few hours to spare

Played Gifford as looking for a quieter course in East Lothian prior to watching last day of Troon Open on TV. Generous fairways and immaculate greens made our threeball a very enjoyable event on a Sunday morning.

Great wee course, Great value for money considering what's around it, greens some of the best I've played this year very neat and tidy course Great credit goes to the greenstaff

What a beautiful course! Excellent value for money. Course immaculate!

Well worth a visit and course in immaculate condition

Excellent value for money

More visible yardage markers would be helpful (they do exist but can be tricky to see sometimes) but not really an issue - just a small suggestion to make the course even better. 9 hole course with different tee boxes. Awesome

Lovely little course, friendly staff and nice little clubhouse. Would definitely come back

9 of us from Winterfield golf club played on Sat. What a great experience .Staff were brilliant (Andy & his mum). Hospitality second to none. The course was in fabulous condition even after all the rain. A great deal. We will be back.
