Enjoying some of the best views of all three Gullane courses, Gullane No. 3 looks across Aberlady Bay to the Firth of Forth and Edinburgh beyond. Spectacular and tricky, Gullae No. 3 is a course that demands a deft touch and a cool head. Forget the modest yardage; this is a course for straight hitting shot-makers.
Designed by two time Open Champion Willie Park Jr, Gullane No. 3 celebrated its centenary in 2010 and has matured to become a much loved destination for visiting golfers. Favoured with the same impeccable links turf and smooth running (albeit smaller) greens as its older neighbours, Gullane No. 3 is maintained to the same high standards from tee to green. This is no soft option, despite the lack of yards the course still presents the classic Gullane links challenge of strategic course management, sloping greens and numerous bunkers to be avoided - all played out in stunning scenery.
The type of grass is predominantly Bent on the fairways and Fescue on the greens. There are 67 bunkers on the course and the average green size is 450m Sq. There are 150 yard posts on each hole which mark the distance to the middle of the green.
To help give you a feel for the course, Alasdair Good, the Club's Head Professional has provided a hole by hole description in our Course Details section below.

The Club offers championship quality links golf courses with dramatic views across the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh and Fife. Further details on the Club's location can be found on the Getting Here page.
The Club has three, 18 hole links courses. The three golf courses do not have names but simply numbers which reflect their age. Further information on the courses can be found on The Courses page.
Visitors playing Course No. 1 should report to the Members' Clubhouse. Visitors playing Courses No. 2 and No. 3 should report to the Links Clubhouse.
Handicap certificates are required to play Gullane No. 1 but are not required for Gullane No. 2 and Gullane No. 3. On Gullane No. 1 there are handicap limits of 24 for men and 30 for ladies. Evidence of handicap will be checked by the No. 1 Starter.

There are water fountains on each course:

No. 2 - 9th green
No. 3 - 10th tees
Alternatively, water can be purchased prior to going to the first tee from the Members' or Links Clubhouse or the Pro Shop.

There are toilets on all the courses:
No. 1 - Between the 4th, 7th and 10th greens.
No. 2 - Behind the 5th green and left of the 16th yellow tees.
No. 3 - Left of the 13th green towards the Greenkeepers sheds.
All three courses have the traditional links layout: the first 9 holes starting from the Clubhouse so the 9th green is the further point from the Clubhouse. The second nine holes then come back to the Clubhouse. This means that 9 holes is not possible without having a long walk back to the Clubhouse.
