Nay nay and thrice nay!!
I'm lucky enough to stay in an area blessed with the finest links courses on the planet...east lothian, Scotland.
This season I've played Archerfield,Kilspindie,Longniddry,kingsbarns,Luffness and the jewel in the crown for me....gullane #1 ( #2 is pretty good too!)
For anyone planning a trip to Scotland for golf, forget the old course, it takes too many rounds per year and is too dug up.Get down to Gullane and get a time for 1 or 2, followed by lunch in the old club house...it's the perfect golfing experience in the perfect golfing area.
