Longniddry Golf Club is situated along the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, just a few miles east of Edinburgh. The course has a unique design that combines woodlands and links. Based on the scorecard alone, the golf course does not seem particularly long, especially not by today's standards, but don't let that fool you. Although there are no par 5s to be found on the course, golfers will come across eight par 4s that measure over 400 yards. Many of Longniddry Golf Club's holes play much longer than the indicated yardage thanks to the hilly terrain, numerous strategically placed bunkers, and mature pines. The fairways are quite generous and the greens are large, but golfers will be faced with punishing gorse and rough if their shot is even slightly wayward. The prevailing winds add another difficult element to the course.

Excellent challenging links course

I’ve played Londniddry a number of times and I’ve always found it a challenging test with a number of par 4’s in excess of 400 yards and no par 5’s on the course.

Overall it’s an excellent links course and well work playing

Rain Needed

This course was highly rated however, we were very disappointed with the conditions of the golf course. I would not recommend playing this course until they receive more rain and there is proper grass on the fairways & tee boxes, I will say the greens are in good condition.

Good Days Golf

Course was in good condition for this time of year.
Remidial winter work to tees and bunkers will enhance the course in the up and coming season. Staff were welcoming in the Pro shop and Clubhouse, good selection on the menu for lunch. We will be back to play at Longniddry.

Rather disappointing

A friendly welcome. The course could be so much better given the decent design. One word for the condition would be scruffy. Tees not cut for days. No definition from rough to fairway. Speed of Greens varied a lot.

The worst aspect was speed of play. We took an hour longer for the round due to very slow 3 and 4 balls.

Disappointing Condition

The course was in very poor condition for the cost of the green fee (£75), we played Burntisland on the 12th July for £21 each and it was immaculate with perfect greens, unfortunately the greens at Longniddry were bumpy, patchy and very poor overall

Windy but worth it!

An enjoyable afternoon’s golf on an excellent course. Pace of play was slow - just under 4 hours - mainly due to a slow fourball ahead. Course was in good condition as were the greens. Staff very friendly. A sunny afternoon but breezy conditions made it a stiff challenge. No par 5’s so a par 68 and a SS 70. Would definitely go back if price was right.

A good test

I’ve played here a few times and it’s a good test with a good mix of long and short par 4s. A few recent bunker addition and gorse removal changes have made a positive difference.

Winter is coming!

Greens have begun prep for winter, covered with sand and have been tined. Course is quite challenging, especially with a strong breeze.

A very windy day !

Visited during 3 day visit to Scotland from home in Derbyshire.
Very friendly reception from everybody we met including the Pro shop staff and various members.
We had breakfast before we went out.which was great value and top quality.
The course was terrific apart from lots of ruts on the greens which I presume were caused by some sort of green maintenance. These ruts made it very difficult to putt.
Apart from these ruts the day was great despite playing in what we thought was a hurricane but the locals described as a bit of a breeze.
