As the home of golf, Scotland is well served in providing all the challenges and environments for some excellent golf and Golfing in East Lothian is no exception. This is particularly true when you come to Gifford with many fine course within easy reach.

The Tweeddale Arms Hotel provides the perfect base for a golfing trip and source for all the local tips required for the nearby courses.
Gifford Golf Club, less than a mile from the Hotel has a course regarded as one of the best 9 hole courses in the country, with championship standard greens in a beautiful environment. Castle Park course in the nearby Yester Estate is another 9 hole course set in parkland and mature woodland, with the Lammermuir Hills forming a stunning backdrop.

Slightly further afield, Gullane Golf Club, established in 1882, offers championship quality links courses with excellent views across the Firth of Forth.
For a true taste of history, however, try the Musselburgh Old Course. A venue for the open six times, the 9 holes at Musselburgh form the oldest existing golf course in the world.
The world championship links course at Muirfield, venue for the 2002 Open, is just 13 miles from the Tweeddale Arms Hotel. With the location, links courses dominate in East Lothian but for a challenging alternative, the long parkland course at Musselburgh, Monktonhall is well worth a visit to test your skills regardless of your experience.
