Beautiful views all round Edinburgh. Nicely kept greens. A pleasure to play on a sunny day. Accuracy off the tee a must. Short but pitching and chipping must be spot on.

The course was in good condition - greens were good. It was a wet day when we played so greens were a bit slow as you can imagine.
Downside was we got held up a lot and the round took nearly four hours to complete - there is a few hole crossovers and its a bit tight in places. There is also loads of places for you to lose your ball. We didnt go into the clubhouse.

Excellent golf course. A bit pricey for a council course but to be fair the course is in very good condition. The course is very short but by no means a push over. Stunning views over the top of the city and great exercise!

Played this course as the second round of 3 over a weekend tournament. Great course, very picturesque, and very amusing at times! Tough tee shots all round, however the difficulty of hitting any "fairways" does make this more of an experience, rather than a superb round of golf. Course in great condition, and amazing views. Not easy on the legs!

Fun course, not bad for a public course to be honest, felt like a links course when the wind started blowing. Short but not as easy as you think...

I would have to say that this is the best municipal course in Scotland. A great test of your golfing ability and stunning views of Edinburgh, Fife and beyond!
