After 4.5 miles turn off the A1 at the Bankton Junction. Follow the A198 direction North Berwick. After 9 miles (passing through Longniddry and Aberlady) Gullane's clubhouse is on your right.
Gullane (No.2)
Gullane Golf Club (No.2 Course): Variety, sweeping elevation changes and undulating links terrain are the hallmarks of Gullane's No.2 course. A bit shorter than the No.1 layout, this is also a hugely enjoyable links golf course, which offers ever-changing scenery and many stunning views as you journey round.
The short par-4 1st and 18th holes are laid out on the south side of the A198, alongside which you'll find Gullane Golf Club's modern functional visitors' clubhouse (where green fees are paid). The first third of the course shares part of Gullane Hill with the No.1 course, before No.2 moves down towards Aberlady Bay and the Firth of Forth.
This is a classic links layout, where your game strategy will be influenced by the prevailing wind and weather. Among a fine array of links golf holes, each of the three par-3s on Gullane No.2 are stylishly defended by a clutch of stylish pot bunkers, always easier to get into than out of.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
