Gifford Golf Club - "East Lothian's Golfing Hidden Gem"

Welcome to Gifford Golf Club

Gifford Golf Club is a beautiful 9-hole golf course set in secluded undulating parkland close to the picturesque village of Gifford in East Lothian. The course is framed by mature woods, farmland and the rolling slopes of the Lammermuir Hills creating an oasis of seclusion for golfer and wildlife alike.

Gifford demonstrates the variety and versatility of golf on Scotland’s Golf Coast offering enjoyment and fun to all abilities of golfer.

Laid out in 1904, over the years the course has earned a well-deserved reputation for the high quality of its greens and overall presentation. The Speedy Burn meanders through the course and comes into play on several holes and when playing a second nine there is the added challenge of different tees on a couple of holes.

The clubhouse offers a warm welcome and high-quality food and drink. The seating outside is a favourite place for members and visitors to enjoy the setting sun after a day of good golf and enjoyable company.

We extend a warm welcome to visitors and societies – the perfect choice for those looking for a fun, relaxed addition to their schedule. If the competitive juices are flowing, we offer a full schedule of open competitions to suit all ages and abilities.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Club!

Gifford gc is a ‘must play’ on your tour of East Lothian. Manicured fairways, above average green speed and plenty of undulations on greens well-protected by hillocks and bunkers. Clubhouse is tiny, but buzzing and full of genuine golfers happy to chat. And there’s a nice bloke called Andy who’ll make your breakfast. Gifford gc is a ‘must’.

First and foremost the staff is super friendly as well as those who are playing on the course. Came here for holidays and absolutely loved the course as it’s, not only well taken care of, but very enjoyable. Would recommend even if you wanted to stop by to play a quick 9 hole!

I can highly recommend this little gem of a course. We had an outing a couple of weeks ago and both the welcome and course were brilliant. The greens are its best defence and the fairways are pristine. Overall a joy to play.

A fantastic 9 hole well- maintained composite course in a beautiful rural setting. This course is a real hidden gem, and the layout makes you think about each shot . When you reach the greens, you will find they are immaculate. The club house is cute, and the staff are friendly . As visitors, we received a very warm welcome, and enjoyed a great day .
