Castle Park opened in June 1994, initially as a nine hole golf facility. Such was the local interest that 250 members were in place from it's inception and member numbers are increasing annually.The original nine holes were laid out by a team of four enthusiastic golfers from Gullane, who between them had golfed in practically every corner of the world and whose only ambition left was to design a golf course. Led by Archie Baird (a renowned golf historian), Colin Brough (a retired Doctor), Hope Letters (of Golf Equipment fame) and Alistair Millar (a well known local farmer and past captain of Gullane Golf Club) they walked the area mapping the direction of each hole.This rough plan was then brought to fruition by the owner of the land Stuart Fortune alongside Alastair Patterson and his team who designed the greens, positioned the bunkers/tees and generally built the nine holes. These nine holes now form the back nine at current day Castle Park.The intention was to build a course that would readily convert to 18 holes and to make full use of the superb ground available with stunning local views. Castle Park has been described as the Gleneagles of East Lothian, so it can be assumed that the design and construction teams can feel justly proud.
