Few towns in the world carry as much golfing weight as North Berwick. This East Lothian village on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth sits at the heart of one of the densest concentrations of great links courses anywhere on the planet — Muirfield, Gullane, North Berwick West Links, and Archerfield all within a short drive. Glen Golf Club occupies its own stretch of linksland here, playing along and above the coast with the Bass Rock standing offshore and the Firth stretching out toward Fife. It is a course with genuine pedigree in a place where golf has been played for centuries.
A par 70 layout on true links ground means firm, fast conditions, unpredictable bounces, and wind that can turn any hole into something entirely different from one day to the next. East Lothian links demand creativity and ground game over pure power.
For visitors drawn to Scotland's golf pilgrimage route, Glen represents the chance to play a local's course — less celebrated than its famous neighbors, but steeped in the same ancient golfing landscape.
