You must play to the left of the fairway off the tee to have a proper angle in, otherwise you come directly over the wall and can’t hold the green. If you miss the green to the right, you may have no shot as you again have to pitch over the wall. In fact, the only way in to North Berwick’s 13th green may be to pull out the putter, aim 90 degrees away from the flag, and bank it off of the opening in the wall, the entranceway to the green! This North Berwick West Links gem is the kind of golf hole you come to Scotland to play! Speaking of greens, you simply won’t believe the undulations on North Berwick’s 16th, two high shelves separated by a huge six-foot dip.
