Dunbar Golf Club

Dunbar Golf Club is a classic links course with a spectacular setting right on the North Sea, along the renowned Scotland’s Golf Coast. Founded in 1856, it is one of Scotland’s oldest golf clubs, known for its honest links design, firm fairways and demanding coastal conditions.

The course runs along the clifftop with views towards Bass Rock and the Isle of May, offering a clear links experience where wind, precision and strategic decision-making are essential. The front nine is more sheltered and technical, while the closing holes open towards the sea, providing a more exposed and dramatic finish.

Dunbar Golf Club is particularly recognised for its natural layout, small and firm greens and distinct Scottish character without unnecessary artificial features. The course suits experienced golfers seeking authentic links golf, yet remains playable and fair for a range of abilities.

The traditional clubhouse overlooks both course and sea, and with its location just a short drive from Edinburgh, Dunbar is a natural addition to any itinerary featuring the classic courses of East Lothian.
