North Berwick West Links

Stone walls, the sea at your shoulder and the original Redan: perhaps the most joyful round in Scotland.

The 18th green, North Berwick

North Berwick's West Links is pure fun. Stone walls cross the fairways, a burn winds through the opening holes, and the sea and the Bass Rock are rarely out of view.

The 15th, Redan, gave its name to a style of green that architects have copied around the world. For many visitors, this is the favourite round of the whole trip.
