Dunbar Golf Club

The course opens gently with a couple of holes slightly inland before the true character of Dunbar is revealed with some majestic holes along the coastline. The well defined fairways track the natural contours of the narrow strip of land between the rocky coastline and the old red sandstone deer park wall, creating a classic links feel.

Play Dunbar 12 months a year and you will see the great job the green staff do, the course is always immaculate. Visiting golfers will experience the sound of the North Sea lapping on the shore, ensure they steer clear of the out of bounds along the old stonewall and fight a continuous battle with the sea breeze.

With little to protect golfers from the elements, the links at Dunbar is one of the best courses in the East Lothian area and is an exceedingly challenging proposition as part of an East Lothian golf tour.

Our group loved playing Dunbar. The quirkiness, the routing, the challenge, the condition and the welcome were all that you could hope for. From the anticipation of “going through the wall”, to the shot from the 4th tee, all the way out and then back in, it was such a memorable golfing experience. A must play if you’re in the region.

The course was nice to play, the green weren't that fast, might be cause of the heavy rains and the difficulties to cut the greens but overall everything was good. Chipping green for the warming up is poor.

Great test of golf with some stunning views, and a course in great condition. Clubhouse of its time and limited practice facilities but the practice putting green was very good.

The course is a real hidden gem, fantastic layout with superb tees, fairways and greens. We played on a very windy day and found playing into the wind on the back 9 very tough. I would highly recommend Dunbar to anyone wanting to experience links golf
