It is amazing how much good golf is available both within the Edinburgh city limits and in the neighbouring area. Click on any of the yellow buttons on the map for further details
Edinburgh
Braid Hills No 1, has a spectacular view of Edinburgh, and is a bargain
at under £10 per round. Also consider the Royal Burgess or the East Course
at Dalmahoy. Then there are the delights of Silverknowes or Murrayfield Golf
Club next to the world-famous zoological gardens.
Day 3 - Gullane
Gullane
the no1 course is the one to play. It is used as a qualifying course for
the Open, and is a true links course with panoramic views from the 7th tee
Muirfield gets booked up years ahead, so it can be difficult to get a round. Dates from 1744 it is naturally an Open Championship course - probably one of the fairest in golf. Much loved by Jack Nicklaus
North Berwick
North Berwick is a favourite for many golfers. There are two excellent courses
in the town, the East (Glen Golf Club) and West Links, with the West being the
better. A very good new course Whitekirk Golf Club is only a few miles
south
Dunbar Dunbar is another
golfer's delight with a first class course at its East Links and a testing course
at Dunbar Winterfield. Dunbar dates from 1794. It has been used as an Open qualifying
course
Haddington a different sort of course as it is inland. Fine scenery with a backdrop of the Lammermuir Hills.
Musselburgh
Musselburgh is home to one of the oldest golf courses in the world,
where James IV and James VI are said to have played. However, apart from its
age the better courses are Monktonhall or Royal Musselburgh ( A lush parkland
course which requires both length and accuracy to score well)
