The West Links at North Berwick is one of the most attractive links courses anywhere. It has commanding views over wide sandy beaches of the dark rocky inlets of the Forth Estuary to the green hills of Fife and beyond.
The 14th hole here is “Perfection” followed by the 15th hole which is the famous Redan hole, a testing par three played across a valley with twin towering bunkers to an angled plateau green. It is one of the most copied holes in world golf and as intimidating as you would desire golf to be.
It is one of the oldest courses in the world and may not contend with the super long heavy weight championship courses but it has style, scenery and it will steal your heart if you are not careful.
