Whitekirk

Whitekirk is another course on Scotland's Golf Coast but unlike some of the more famous courses on that stretch of land (Muirfield, Gullane, Dunbar etc) it is not a links course. Set high on the hill with some magnificent views of East Lothian & the Bass Rock. However, the views could not save this from being a rather disappointing course.
It suffers badly from a great number of blind shots, allied to this it has very small greens & is an very exposed course so this can be a very brutal course. The brutality of the course, the poor condition & the generally poor routing means this is a course which I would avoid playing again.
There are far superior courses in the region but it will be interesting to see what Paul Lawrie does with his redesign.
On a positive note the clubhouse is very nice & the food was very good value for money.
