Glen GC- hole 18 & clubhouse
The Glen GC ( North Berwick East Links)
When the famous West Course at North Berwick became overly busy in the early 1890's the Town Council made the brilliant decision to construct and then manage a new public course to complement the West Course.
It was called the Glen (North Berwick East Links) and dates from 1894, and it has flourished ever since.
It started as a nine holer, but due to demand the nine hole course was extended to 18 holes.
The extended course emerged under the guidance of James Braid and Ben Sayers.
It has been busy ever since!
Notable Golf Holes include:
- hole 1 (The Haugh), a memorable short par 4 with a steep approach to a crow's nest green
Glen GC- hole 1 approach
Glen GC- hole 1 back
- hole 4 ( The Knowes), an uphill par 3 with a tricky putting green

- hole 6 ( Havelaw), a tricky par 5 where an approach to the green from the left is prefereable
