In Volume 1 of The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, Tom Doak published that.

“Lying adjacent to Gullane #3, this is the first part of the vast expanse of 72 holes you see when driving out from Edinburgh. The first five holes are in a small loop to the south of the road, and the rest of the links are at the foot of Gullane Hill. The club is less dependent on visitor play than most in Scotland, so it is not as well known as it might be.“

Luffness New Golf Club received a score of 5 out of 10 from Tom Doak and a score of 4 out of 10 from one of his co-authors.
