Origins

Historical records show an Eyemouth golf course in use in 1894, with contemporary descriptions placing the early nine-hole layout on Gunsgreen along the seaside and low cliffs.

Did You Know?
The club played over nine holes for its first 103 years before expanding to 18 in 1997.

Design Philosophy

The old clifftop holes use the exposed coastal terrain directly, most notably at the 6th where the shot crosses a rocky inlet. James Bain is credited by golf-course directories with the original design.

Development

For more than a century Eyemouth remained a nine-hole course. In 1997 it expanded to 18 holes and gained a new elevated clubhouse. The original coastal character survived the expansion, including the 6th hole.

Recognition

The 6th, 'A-Still-No-Ken', has received repeated media recognition for the unusual carry across the sea. The long 13th, 'Hawkness Monster', is promoted by the club as mainland Scotland's longest golf hole from the furthest tee.

Today

Eyemouth operates as an 18-hole visitor-friendly coastal club with year-round play, direct visitor bookings, practice facilities and clubhouse hospitality.
