Overview:
Two 18 hole heathland courses with stunning views over the City of Edinburgh and the Firth Of Forth. “With the exception of the Old Course at St. Andrews, the No.1 course is probably the best public course in Scotland.” (Business A.M. 09/05/02) The No 1 course is truly the most magnificent course in Edinburgh. Set high above the Capital, the course commands panoramic views across the whole of Edinburgh.
It is a course steeped in the history of the game having been a test piece for James Braid and also the American, Tommy Armour in the 1910's.
The golf itself is set amongst some of the most fearsome gorse rough and spectacular tee shots to beautifully kept and true greens. Wayward hots are punished, but straight drives are prized with hard fought Birdies and Pars. It plays to all of its 5390 yards and you would be rewarded coming away with a par of 70.
Requirements:
No handicap is required for this course, although as with all decent courses, you will be expected to be of a reasonable standard.
