Andrews Golf Tours Proudly Present - North Berwick.
North Berwick can be incorporated into
your Scotland Golf Vacation.
Even in the glittering array of Scotland's seaside golf
courses, North Berwick's West Links stands out as a rare
gem. It has taken a long time to evolve to its present
state of excellence, but it has been time well spent.
The West Links offers a unique golfing experience, and
poses a true challenge for even the most proficient
golfer. It is a true links course - steeped in history -
and complete with traditional riveted bunkers, blind
holes, drives over walls and burns together with
magnificent views towards the sea.
Rudimentary golf (often discouraged by the authorities)
had been played on North Berwick links land, as in other
parts of the country, since the early years of the
seventeenth century, and possibly earlier than that. But
it was the formation in 1832 of North Berwick Golf Club
that marked the beginning of organised golf over terrain
which in time would be expanded to become the West Links
which we know today.
