Glen Golf Club is one of the most popular seaside courses in Scotland, which was established in 1906 when Ben Sayers and James Braid were commissioned to extend the existing nine to the championship 18-hole layout, in situ today.

The course runs along the East Coast which offers striking views out to the Firth of Forth and the Bass Rock, the world’s largest northern gannet colony.

North Berwick is famous for the West Course but be under no illusions, The Glen is a fantastic complement to the West Course.

East Lothian plays host to a lot of superb golf courses and once you have past Gullane you head through the beautiful North Berwick to the East of the Town to find the Glen.

Glen Golf Club

Though not greatly long at 6,300 yards, Glen is a tough test with a standard scratch of 70, and is incredibly picturesque as it winds its way along the rugged coastline above the Firth of Forth. When the wind blows off the coast, the yardage still makes for an enjoyable game of golf, but do you use the wind or fight it, your choice with the sea looking at you. The highlight is undoubtedly the little par-3 13th, where the challenge is to find the postage stamp green, perched just a hair's breadth from the sand and sea.

Often in the shadow of its neighbour, the West Links, Glen is certainly underrated, and its genuine charm make it an essential component of any golf break in East Lothian.

The Glen is a beautiful spot with the most incredible views from the holes which run beside the coastline. Perhaps overshadowed by the neighbouring North Berwick GC, but priced correctly aligned to standard of condition and facilities. Suitably playable for a varied ability group. Their signature 13th hole would be excellent if the tee was pushed up to the front of the tee box (which is blind from the back tee) and would give you a stunning view of the hole as it descends green bound (hopefully!). Clubhouse/Pro shop welcome is friendly and you are made to feel at home. Basic facilities in the clubhouse, but suitable for most.

A hidden gem the stuff was very nice and the clubhouse full of history. The course is one of the most amazing and scenic we had the privilege to play with some amazing hole like the 13th “pebble beach” par3.

Lovely course and spectacular views......only downside was a group of members behind pushing our group. We (fourball) got round in under 4 hours....not bad considering we didn't know the course and walked the wrong way to the next tee a couple of times. Could do with "next tee" markers

Greens a bit fluffy but to be expected in November. A great opening course for us as fairly open so can blow the cobwebs away. Spectacular views and some great holes. Very good value for money

This course is not as well known as some of its neighbours but a real find and well worth a visit. The course is in great condition with well laid out holes. I may be wrong but it seemed as if you could see the ocean from every hole on the course which made a fantastic backdrop. I would definitely return if I came back to the area.

This course is among the most spectacular in the world for views! Amazing to play, you find yourself concentrating on the scenery more then the course. The greens could do with some improvement but the course lay out is daunting in places yet pretty forgiving, so you can put a score together here as a visitor. Everyone should play this course at least once.

The course has some memorable holes on the back nine, but overall played more like a parkland than a links. By this I mean that the fairways were quite heavy and slow. Didn’t use the club house so can’t comment on the facilities.
