Edinburgh is a great city for playing golf in and within a short distance you will find some of Scotland’s most famous and historic golf courses.

Edinburgh has a splendid array of very accessible golf courses, some of which offer incredible views of the city. You could be teeing off in sight of Edinburgh Castle and Arthur’s Seat. Scotland’s capital might not be synonymous with golf, but the quality of courses available is excellent.  

You don’t have to venture far from Edinburgh either to play some of the most famous and historic courses in the game. East Lothian has an astonishing amount of legendary golfing venues. There is Muirfield, where the Open has been staged 15 times, and will again in 2013. Musselburgh is another venerable golf club while Gullane has no less than three classic links courses.

With the luxurious East and West courses at Dalmahoy just west of Edinburgh, and so much more in an area that has such a rich golfing heritage, golfers are simply spoilt for choice.

You can find details of all of the golf courses in Edinburgh and the Lothians and decide which ones you want to play during your break.
