Great but very difficult course!

This plays like a links, with the dense bushes hiding any ball that finds it's way in. I played badly so it reflected on my score as I kept losing balls!

However the course itself is in very good condition (especially for a public course), it is steep at ?26 a round but if this was a private club it would be ?60-70 a round and it would still be worth it!

Very interesting layout with lots of ups and downs and some outstanding views!

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.

Beautiful course with a good practice facility. The greens could have been a little quicker but still ran true.

Edinburgh municipal gem.

You get great views of Edinburgh from a lot of the holes. According to the scorecard it's not a long course but if there is any wind it feels a lot longer. Some very entertaining holes that make you think and give you options to play them in different ways.

Mediocre

For a municipal course, it's good. Decent value. Some silly holes though.

Very scenic, tight course

Really enjoyed this round in the sunshine, a bit breezy, but under four hours on a Saturday morning so not too bad. A pretty course, greens very good but fairways were parched. A little confusing sometimes where you are heading and lots of blind shots. Worth the weekend fee of £26 I thought.

The braids is a great course with a number of challenging holes. Don't be afraid of the hill walking as you will be rewarded with some fantastic views of Edinburgh
