Elie Links

Elie Links requires a patient, thoughtful golfer to achieve good scores instead of trying to overpower the course.

At 6,273 yards the course is not long, but its network of bunkers are beautifully placed to catch those that stray offline or misjudge their distances. This can be all too easy to do, especially as the prevailing south westerly breeze slackens or stiffens during the course of a round.

With quick, contoured greens and firm fairways Elie has often been described as one of the best courses in Scotland. This is reflected in the tournaments that have been held there, these include the British Seniors Championship, Scottish Professionals Championship, Scottish Ladies Championship and qualifying rounds for the Open Championship.

Close to the 4th tee, golfers will notice a small pub, on cold and windy days, the 19th Hole Pub can look warm and inviting.
