Gullane No. 2 was laid out by Willie Park Jr. in 1898. The course runs alongside Gullane No. 1 for the first seven holes before sweeping down to a nature reserve next to Aberlady Bay.

The course turns towards home from the 13th tee with the prevailing wind and back up Gullane Hill past the new Gullane Links Clubhouse until hole 18 where it finishes at coastline beauty that epitomizes links golf in Scotland.
