Longniddry Golf Club: A Hub of Championship Golf
Longniddry Golf Club is situated on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, just 18 miles east of Edinburgh. Formed in 1921, the course is a classic test of golf that occupies a unique position on the Golf Coast—it is the closest links course to the capital, yet it features a distinct blend of links and parkland/woodland terrain.
The Championship Course
Designed by the legendary Harry Colt, Longniddry is an 18-hole, par 68 layout. It is highly unusual in that it features no par 5s, demanding consistent ball striking and accuracy rather than brute length. The course offers a spectacular variety of holes, transitioning from pure links turf with sea views to holes lined by pine trees, providing a sheltering woodland feel rare for this coastline. It is a regular host for Open Championship qualifying.
