Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I plan a golf trip to Berwickshire when there's only one course available?
You might think one course isn't enough, but Berwickshire offers a truly memorable experience at Eyemouth Golf Club. It's a stunning clifftop links course with breathtaking views of the North Sea, providing a peaceful and authentic Scottish golf escape away from the busier hubs. We recommend it for golfers seeking a unique, uncrowded round where the scenery is as good as the golf.
What's the ideal time of year to play golf at Berwickshire's course?
We always recommend late spring through early autumn - May to September - for the best weather and longest daylight hours. You'll find the course in prime condition, and while Scottish weather is always a gamble, these months offer your best chance for sunny skies and calmer winds along the coast. Avoid winter unless you're truly hardy; conditions can be very challenging.
What kind of golf experience can I expect from the course in Berwickshire, and is it suitable for all skill levels?
Eyemouth Golf Club delivers a classic links feel with dramatic clifftop holes and incredible sea views. It's a fair test for all abilities; while the wind can make it challenging, the course is very playable and rewards good course management rather than just brute strength. You'll love the unique layout and the feeling of being right on the edge of the world.
What are the best options for accommodation and dining when visiting Berwickshire for golf?
For convenience, we suggest staying in Eyemouth itself, where you'll find charming guesthouses and a few local hotels. The town offers excellent seafood restaurants right by the harbour - don't miss the fresh catch. If you prefer more options, nearby Berwick-upon-Tweed, just over the border, provides a wider range of hotels and eateries, though it's a short drive.
How does the cost of playing golf in Berwickshire compare to other Scottish golf regions?
You'll find Berwickshire offers fantastic value compared to the more famous golf destinations in Scotland. Green fees at Eyemouth Golf Club are very reasonable, allowing you to enjoy a top-tier links experience without the premium price tag. It's an excellent choice if you're looking for quality golf on a budget, especially during the shoulder seasons.
