Gullane | Past Scottish Open Venue

Host of the 2018 Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open and Ladies Scottish Open over a Championship course comprising 16 holes of Gullane No. 1 and 2 holes of No. 2. Golf has been played over the links at Gullane for more than 350 years. Today, it is one of Scotland’s most prestigious member clubs, mixing the finest tradition with some of the most admired natural links lands in the world. Gullane is blessed with superb turf and a climate that allows all year-round golf. Visitors are welcome to play their three championship courses, simply known by number reflecting their age. All offer dramatic coastal views and a golfing challenge to savour.

Gullane No.1 – Gullane No.1 (1884) has a long history of hosting national and international championship golf events. Carved into the ancient links turf, pot bunkers, wispy grasses and smooth-running greens offer a unique challenge for the serious golfer. Add to that the fabulous views and you have one of the world’s most cherished golfing experiences. In 2013 it was voted in 21st place in the Top 100 Courses in Scotland by Today’s Golfer and the spectacular par five 3rd was recognised as one of the best holes in the world by Golf Magazine (USA).

Gullane No.2 – Gullane No.2 (1898) was laid out by the legendary Willie Park Jr. Running alongside No.1 for the first seven holes, the course sweeps down to a nature reserve next to Aberlady Bay before turning back towards home and the visitors’ clubhouse. The beauty of the coastline and the challenge of the layout create an unforgettable round that epitomises links golf in Scotland. Whilst shorter than its older sibling it provides an equally stern test, with challenge and charm in equal doses.

Gullane forms part of St Andrews Golf Travel’s East Lothian Golf Experiences which include North Berwick and Muirfield

First class start to finish. We had a couple curve balls with flight delays etc.. and the St Andrews Golf Travel team adapted and ensured our trip stayed on track. Thoughtful hosts, excellent accommodations, and impeccable service. Can't wait to come back and enjoy their hospitality again.

Our group of 8 played 4 rounds in St Andrews in Aug 2023. So many great posts already about the professionalism, dedication, and service provided by the St Andrews Golf Travel team it's challenging to offer a different take. Everything was a 5 star experience. Thank you Graeme, Marc, and the rest of the team. We'll be back!

Graeme and Marc are absolutely wonderful. We planned an 8-man trip to Scotland and every detail was perfect. Their service was impeccable. After meeting several other similar groups on Troon and St. Andrews, we felt very fortunate to have conducted our trip with St. Andrews Golf Travel. Every detail was carefully curated and all coordination, transportation and accommodations were flawless. I can't thank them enough and we are already looking forward to an Ireland trip with them.

Incredible! from my very first inquiry over two years ago until the completion of our trip on 8/13/2023 Graeme, Marc and St Andrews Golf Travel are 5 stars. Graeme would always follow-up within an hour or two even though the time difference was 5 hours. He planned every single detail of the trip and it was exactly as he said it would be. The golf was incredible, stayed at great places, ate incredible food and had a wonderful driver in Andy. I wouldn't or consider anybody else for our next golf trip across the pond! Graeme/Marc Thank you both and Cheers

This was the 5th time I’ve been to St Andrew’s for a golf trip, 4th time organizing a trip for 8 golfers, including myself. Covid canceled our original trip, so pushed back to July 2024!
Not only did Marc stick with us, he made the trip even better! I’m located in Scottsdale Arizona and Marc was always there for us and went way and beyond any other tour operator I’ve ever worked with. Hotel was close to Old course and Angus was a great host. Newly refurbished rooms & Fantastic breakfast at Bibi’s cafe to start our days. 5 of the lads had never been before and guaranteed Old course time didn’t disappoint. Marc secured all requested courses and was even able to move tee time back for our final round at Dumbarnie. Thanks again St Andrews Golf Travel.
If your looking for a tour company, look no farther than St Andrews Golf Travel!
