Dunbar Golf Club
Dunbar
Dunbar is another of what could be called the “founding courses of golf”. The game appeared here in the early 17th century but it wasn’t until 1856 that the club was formed with 15 holes. Version two was extended to 18 holes in 1880 before Old Tom Morris modified it in 1894 which James Braid and Ben Sayers embellished with additional length and sixty-one new bunkers in 1923. Dunbar East Links is a traditional ''out and back'' layout squeezed into a narrow stretch of rocky coastline along the North Sea. Well defined narrow fairways are tucked between the unforgiving coastline and the old sandstone deer park wall. Careful club selection and precise shot making are keys to taming a layout revered by generations of the game’s legends. The club has hosted many Scottish amateur and professional events.
