Throughout the world there are many wonderful highways made famousby their proximity to major golf destinations. Among the most obvious is thelegendary 17-Mile Drive on California’s Monterey Peninsula, where you’ll encounter the famous Links at Spanish Bay, Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach GolfLinks or the 60 mile long Grand Strand, encompassing the Myrtle Beach area onSouth Carolina’s coastline. But can anywhere compete with the depth, varietyand quality of golf courses available along East Lothian’s A198.
Travelling east, the A198 begins just a mile from the course at Royal Musselburghand continues along the coastal route through the pristine villages and towns ofLongniddry, Aberlady, Gullane, Dirleton and North Berwick, before joining the A199beyond Whitekirk.
The road, which runs for marginally over 20 miles, contains some of the world’sfinest golfing linksland. Here you’ll find an amazing 15 courses, almost linking with each other along the Firth of Forth. Many familiar names, such as Gullane andNorth Berwick Golf Club, often host major international championships includingFinal Qualifying, when the Open Championship is played over East Lothian’s mostfamous links, Muirfield, home to The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers.
Stunning vistas along the coastline further enhance the spectacular courses. The 360-degree panoramic view from the 7th tee on Gullane’s No.1 course is oftendescribed as “the best view in golf”. The beautiful coastal surroundings are also afeature when playing at Longniddry, Kilspindie, Craigielaw, Luffness New, North

1ST HOLE
Royal Musselburgh
The Royal Musselburgh Golf Club, founded in 1774, originally playedover the famous 9 hole links course at Levenhall, Musselburgh. In 1926 the move was made to the present location at Prestongrange
House, Prestonpans. This engaging parkland course was designed by JamesBraid and affords wonderful vistas over Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth.The front nine provides a fair challenge, but beware the ‘sting in the tail’;the final third of the course can make or break a score. The tough four holestretch from the long par four 13th includes the ‘gully’ a par 3 (14th) where to be short is to court disaster, followed by one of the best par fours in the Lothians. From the medal tee at the 15th, huddled tight beside thetrees to the left, a precision drive is required to find the rollercoasting fairway. From there a long iron is played over an uphill approach to a tilting green.Royal Musselburgh has in its possession a silver cup, known as the ‘Old ClubCup’. dating from 1774. This is the oldest cup in the world still played for competitively today. The club were privileged to host the World Junior Open in July 2002.
