Longniddry Golf CourseLongniddry Golf Course is a unique combination of parkland and links located on the south side of Firth of Forth.
The course is not long by modern standards, but it is designed to reward the strategic player. The fairways are quite generous and the greens are fairly large, but the penalty for straying off-line can be severe.
The opening holes are relatively straightforward and open to the winds of the estuary. From the 3rd green to the 11th tee there is considerable shelter in amongst the trees, but thereafter the course opens out once more.
There are many good holes at Longniddry, both as a test of golf and of natural beauty. They include the 450 yard 3rd, which is right on the limit for a par 4; the 305 yard dogleg 5th, with a two-tier elevated green; the 6th, with a shot of 160 yards downhill to the heavily bunkered green and the long 7th. The closing six holes are equally challenging, particularly the dogleg 12th, the par 3 13th and the finishing hole of 418 yards, where par is always welcome.
The Club is a former venue of the British Seniors and a qualifier for the Open at Muirfield. More recently the Club has hosted the Ladies Home Internationals and the Commonwealth Youths Tournament.
It is a regional qualifier for the The Daily Telegraph Wilson and Help the Aged as well as a number of other competitions. Facilities- Putting green and practice area
