Luffness New Golf Club overview

Located next to Gullane just 20 miles east of Edinburgh on Scotland’s beautiful East Lothian coast, Luffness New is probably the oldest ‘new’ course in the world. Golf here dates back to 1867 although the current course was not formally opened until 1894.

An Old Tom Morris design originally, and with plenty of subsequent changes, Luffness New is overshadowed by Muirfield, Gullane and North Berwick, however, this is a hidden gem that we highly recommend playing. Although a private members club, visitors are very welcome and will experience a traditional links course that’s always in excellent condition.

Luffness New Golf Course overview

A par-70 and measuring just over 6500 yards off the tips, Luffness New is challenging without being long. Having said that, it can be very tough when the wind blows down the Firth of Forth. Straight hitters will not find too much to trouble them, however, those that wander will be punished by thick rough and strategically placed bunkers. The greens are small and amongst the truest in the area, therefore Luffness New rewards the virtues of accuracy and patience.

Consistently ranked amongst Scotland’s top 50 golf courses, with qualifying rounds held here when the Open Championship is at Muirfield.

Signature Holes

The 3rd hole is a tough par-3 at 196 yards and depending on the wind it can be anything from a 7-iron to a 3-iron. There’s no respite at the next either, which is a tough par-5 at 531 yards.

Did You Know?

The original Luffness Golf Club moved to form Kilspindie Golf Club just 2 miles down the road, this was due to a dispute between the members and resulted in the formation of Luffness New.
