Gullane, this town on Scotland’s Golf Coast gives St Andrews a run for its money in terms of Golf obsession. Gullane has 3 courses all of which are on the top 100 but it was no. 2 that I played on calm but overcast day in autumn. Gullane is renowned for its stunning greens – which are in play all year round. I wasn’t disappointed – the greens were amazing. The course set up is challenging and with the exposed holes on the top of the hill the weather can turn this course from demanding to impossible very quickly.

Thanks. Another huge thanks to Mr Golf – Gordon Blackwood for arranging the visit to Gullane and to Stuart Munro for his splendid hospitality. Once again ST100 had to buy the drinks after a dismay performance from himself and G-Star!
