West Links at North Berwick, Scotland


The West Links at North Berwick are a perfect mix of fun and challenge on a golf course. It's a top-notch golfing experience, and after the round you don't feel like the course sapped all your strength.

Favorite holes on the course for me are #2 (Firth of Forth and beach directly on the right), #11 (par-5 reachable in two), #13 (par-4 called "Pit" where you have to hit your approach shot over a short wall to the green), #14 (par-4 called "Perfection" where your approach shot is blind, other than a tall pole that you take aim at), and #15 (the original "Redan" par-3 hole).

All the holes are great fun, and the course is kept in great shape, plus the clubhouse is very old-school-cool. I definitely plan to play this course again when I visit in July!!
