Perhaps more than any other course one can remember, Gullane’s No. 1 course—the most senior of the three at the club—relies heavily on varied stances to help provide a distinct and refreshing challenge day-in, day-out. Uphill, downhill, sidehill lies, and a combination of either of those await the golfer, as evident by its two Scottish Open’s in the past ten years (2015 & 2018). The panoramic view from the 7th tee box is worth the price of admission alone, but No. 1 is a joy to play from the 1st tee to the 18th green’s final putt.
