North Berwick Pro Shops

[Lord Tyrion]

Thanks all.

Wanted a little momento as it’s our first family holiday as our first child was born a few weeks ago.

Called into NB this morning whilst walking round the town!

Pick up any goodies or have you gone for the traditional ball marker?

Muirfield definitely has a shop. It's not quite your traditional pro shop though. I've heard stories of guys who tried to go but were told no. You can only get into the building in golf gear, and can only access certain rooms in your shirt and tie etc.

Doesn’t have the most welcoming reputation. Time I played we were allowed to use the toilet but that was it. Have heard of other playing groups who have not been allowed in the clubhouse at all.

Been several times. Never had any issues if booked in to play. Lunch is off the charts!

Just a shirt and a beanie hat, although didn’t need a hat this week as it’s been very mild. Course looked in great condition from what I could see!

The club makes huge amounts from visiting, largely American, golfers. The green fees are eye watering but people pay them. All that money equals a heck of a lot of greenkeepers and all the equipment you could ever wish for. Take a very impressive course and add in that much maintenance .

Incidentally, make friends with a member. Playing as a members guest means the green fees is less than 10% of the full fee . There is hope out there (I got lucky a couple of years ago and was invited as a friend of a friend of a member. £15 . It was immaculate and hugely enjoyable to play)

I played there on a student rate 25+ years ago. Green fee was £20, I think that was half price at the time. Prices now are crazy.
