Golf courses in Edinburgh

Edinburgh combines what few cities can: world-class culture and an excellent golf offering within easy reach. In the city itself you'll find a handful of good courses, of which Royal Burgess Golfing Society is the best known — founded in 1735, one of the oldest golf clubs in the world, with a parkland course designed by Willie Park Jr. that has lost none of its charm over all those years. But the real golf destination Edinburgh begins outside the city limits. Fife with The Home of Golf, St Andrews Links, is thirty minutes away. East Lothian with Muirfield, North Berwick and The Renaissance Club is equally close in the other direction. Those staying in Edinburgh for a week and wanting to play a different top course every day will have no difficulty whatsoever. The city itself is always worth the visit. Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, Arthur's Seat and the vibrant pub and restaurant culture ensure that even the non-golfer in the party is happy. Edinburgh Airport is forty minutes from the city centre and has excellent connections from across Europe, including the Netherlands. Because after a round just outside the city, an evening in an Edinburgh pub tastes just a little better. Browse all golf courses around Edinburgh on Leading Courses and plan your next golf trip.
