Course Details
| Course Name: Luffness New Holes: 18 Yardage: 6122 SSS: 70 |
| Undulating course which houses the final qualifying round for the Open Championship. Typifying the best in British golf the course occupies the most natural piece of golfing land in the world, and the members a body determined to enjoy it to the full. Luffness can be hard, mighty hard when the wind whistles down the Firth of Forth. There are distinctive bunkers on this honest an straightforward course with the best greens imaginable. Luffness offers a feeling of escape allied to a sense of challenge and enjoyment that few others can match. Designed by Old Tom Morris, this undulating links land with famous greens and rough which punishes the errant shot. The par 4 holes are a fair test with many requiring a good second shot depending on the wind. The short 3rd hole selected a famous by many authorities, the tee shot can be a 6 iron of a driver depending on the conditions. The fairway 'turf' is kind underfoot with the well groomed 'pot' bunkers. For an appreciation and independent view of this course please see golfer reviews.

Wonderful experience, challenging but fair. You don't have to be particularly long but accuracy a must or face a Luffness 'rough experience'. Bunkers are strategically placed and local knowledge a must to score well. Found greens to be very true and certainly held well. Great clubhouse and dining experience. Many thanks to friends and members: Donald Fraser and Eddie Kelly, for the opportunity.

The best way to play Luffness is to have two gin and tonics with my friend and member Derek Kidd. This was followed by a great lunch, then we were off to play this wonderful golf course. The greens are considered the best in Scotland and I would certainly agree. A wonderful day of golf in and area of Scotland that reminded me of Murtle Beach .... One great golf course after another. Play North Berwick, Muirfield, Gullane and Luffness. Then have a gin and tonic with Derek!
