North Berwick’s historic golf course fights erosion

North Berwick’s iconic West Links, one of the world’s oldest golf courses, is getting a lifeline as urgent coastal defenses are set to begin this winter. After losing nearly four meters of greens and tees to last year’s storms, the club and town rallied for action, with the council unanimously backing new protections. The plan blends hidden engineering with natural dune restoration, aiming to safeguard not just the legendary course but the local economy and community spaces. It’s a huge step for both golf lovers and residents—how do you feel about balancing heritage, tourism, and climate challenges? #Sports #Golf #NorthBerwick
