Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Glen Golf Club for optimal conditions?

We always recommend late spring through early autumn (May-September) for the best chance of drier weather and longer daylight hours. While Scotland's weather is famously unpredictable, these months offer the most consistent conditions to truly appreciate Glen's stunning coastal views without battling too much wind or rain. You'll find the course in prime condition during this window.

What's the most memorable or challenging hole at Glen Golf Club?

Without a doubt, the 13th hole, "The Braw Lads' Brae," is the one everyone talks about - and for good reason. This uphill par-3 demands a precise shot over a deep chasm to a green perched high above, offering truly breathtaking views of the Bass Rock and Firth of Forth. It's a real test of nerve and club selection, but the reward is worth the effort.

How does Glen Golf Club compare in value to other courses in the North Berwick area?

Glen Golf Club offers exceptional value, especially when you consider its stunning coastal setting and well-maintained links-style play. While it might not have the same global recognition as its famous neighbor, North Berwick West Links, you'll find a fantastic, challenging round here for a significantly more accessible green fee. It's a must-play if you're looking for quality golf without the premium price tag.

Is it difficult to secure a tee time at Glen Golf Club as a visitor?

Generally, it's quite straightforward to book a visitor tee time at Glen, especially if you plan a few weeks in advance. While it's a popular local course, it doesn't experience the same intense demand as some of the Open Championship venues nearby. We recommend checking their website for online booking options or giving the pro shop a call directly.

What's the clubhouse experience like at Glen, and what should we do in North Berwick after our round?

The clubhouse at Glen offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere with fantastic views over the course and coastline - perfect for a post-round pint and a bite to eat. Afterwards, we highly suggest exploring North Berwick's charming high street, perhaps grabbing some fish and chips, or taking a stroll along the beach to soak in more of that incredible Scottish seaside air. It's a lovely town to unwind in.
