Winterfield Golf Club sits on the Dunbar coastline and offers a more relaxed, accessible links experience compared to its neighbours. Shorter and more forgiving off the tee, it is ideal as a warm-up round at the start of a tour, a social second round after a more demanding morning, or as a first introduction to genuine links golf for those newer to the Scottish game. Do not be misled by its modest yardage — the coastal wind can make any hole feel considerably longer.
Winterfield has been part of the Dunbar golfing scene for many decades, providing the local community with an affordable and enjoyable coastal course that sits directly beside the North Sea. Though less renowned than the more celebrated East Lothian clubs, it occupies genuine linksland and provides an honest, no-frills game in a beautiful setting — exactly what the game was once about for everyone.
Not every round on a multi-day tour needs to be a championship test. Winterfield earns its place as the more relaxed, social round in any itinerary — the kind of golf where conversation flows freely, everyone plays their natural game, and the whole group comes home smiling regardless of score. Sometimes that is the most important round of the week.
