Set beside the tranquil shores of Aberlady Bay, Luffness New Golf Club is a traditional Scottish links in the truest sense. Naturally formed, authentically managed, and warmly welcoming to visiting golfers, it is the kind of course that reminds you why links golf was invented in Scotland in the first place. The fairways follow the natural contours of the land, the rough is genuinely rough, and the wind is always a factor — exactly as it should be.
Luffness New was founded in 1867 and laid out on the links land between Aberlady and Gullane. Over 150 years of history, the course has hosted numerous prestigious amateur events, including Scottish Amateur Championship qualifying. Its proximity to Aberlady Bay Nature Reserve — the first designated Local Nature Reserve in Britain, established in 1952 — gives the club a unique sense of place and connection to the natural landscape.
Luffness New provides the authentic, old-fashioned links golf experience that many visitors come to Scotland specifically to find. There are no airs and graces — just excellent golf on land shaped by nature, played in wonderful surroundings alongside one of Scotland's finest wildlife habitats. A grounding round in the very best sense.
