Gifford Golf Club

Gifford Golf Club is a nine-hole course in the East Lothian village of Gifford, close to Haddington and set against the rise of the Lammermuir Hills to the south. The course sits within a landscape of mature woodland and rolling farmland typical of this part of East Lothian, an area better known nationally for its concentration of larger links courses along the coast. Gifford offers a quieter, more secluded alternative inland, with the clubhouse providing a relaxed spot for members and visitors to sit outside and take in the surrounding countryside after a round. The club runs a programme of open competitions through the season for players of varying ability, and it takes part in stay-and-play packages arranged with local accommodation providers, allowing visitors to combine a night in East Lothian with rounds at Gifford and other courses along the coast. The village of Gifford itself is a small, historic settlement built around a green, with the Lammermuirs rising steeply just beyond its southern edge. For golfers exploring East Lothian's better-known coastal courses, Gifford offers a contrasting inland round shaped by woodland and farmland rather than dunes and sea views.
