South East of Scotland, Golf Courses

Golf as good as anywhere! Any visit to Scotland should be combined with a visit to this region, including the Scottish capital, Edinburgh.

What makes Edinburgh unlike any other capital in the world is that its surrounded one of the most remarkable selection of golf courses.

Gullane No 2 Golf in East Lothian

The Boarders offer the Dave Thomas designed Roxburghe and nearby in Peebles, Cardrona is set alongside the River Tweed with a stunning backdrop. If you in the region, add Peebles, Minto, Innerleithen and The Hirsel to your list of must play courses. All offer quality and challenging golf.

East of Edinburgh is East Lothian - and I think you will find it hard to find any coastal stretch so packed with some of the best links courses to be played.

Muirfield is one of the Tour's favorite scottish venues, but combined with the 3 courses at Gullane (No 1 in particular) Cragielaw, Dunbar and my personal favorite North Berwick its an exceptional region less than 30 min's outside of Edinburgh.

North Berwick Golf Course Within Edinburgh, you have some courses such as Braids No.1, Duddingston, Bruntsfield Links and Royal Bursges.

Just outside and towards the west you have Marriott Dalmahoy a top quality resort with the West Course being one of the best golf courses in Scotland.

Edinburgh is a very vibrant and beautiful city which makes a perfect back drop for a quality golfing holiday or a base from which to start exploring the rest of Scotland.
