North Berwick West Links Golf Transfers & Chauffeur Tours
The West Links at North Berwick is the third-oldest course in the world and, for many, the most enjoyable round in Scotland. Blind shots, walls of dressed stone running across fairways, the Redan hole (the 15th, template for hundreds of holes worldwide including Shinnecock), and the town's high street literally at the 1st tee — it's a course that resists modernity and is celebrated for it.
Founded 1832. The Redan has been copied on every continent — the original punchbowl green protected by a diagonal bunker. Bass Rock and the Isle of May dominate the seascape; you play half the round with them in view.
Return chauffeur transfers to North Berwick West Links start from £550 return from Dundee and from £400 return from Edinburgh Airport (EDI), with clubs, luggage and waiting time included.
Drive times: Edinburgh city centre — 40 min (23 mi); Edinburgh Airport — 50 min (30 mi); Muirfield — 10 min (4 mi); Renaissance Club — 5 min (2 mi).
Recommended vehicle: Bentley Mulsanne or Mercedes Vito. North Berwick pairs naturally with Muirfield and Renaissance in the same day or week — the Mulsanne suits the tone of the East Lothian coast, the Vito handles the fourball.
East Lothian day — 2 courses: Morning at North Berwick West (fun, quirky, historic), lunch in town, afternoon at Renaissance Club (modern member's course). A perfect one-day sampler out of Edinburgh.
Drop-off at the pro shop. Parking is limited on High Street in season — we stage nearby. Chauffeur handles the short hop into town for lunch at The Rocketeer or Bostock Bakery.
Is North Berwick as good as its reputation? Yes. Almost every visitor names it their favourite round of the trip.
Can we walk into town after the round? Yes — the 18th is at the edge of the high street. We meet you wherever you finish lunch.
How does it pair with Muirfield? Ideal 24-hour pairing — Muirfield in the morning (serious), North Berwick in the afternoon (delightful).
