Not for the faint hearted!
Steep sloping fairways on several holes can punish even reasonable shots as the ball trundles down to the edge of the adjacent fairway; especially in dry weather. Considerable changes of elevation across the course means a good physical work out for all. Challenging and sometimes dramatic Par 3s add to the fun! Friendly club and excellent clubhouse facilities round out a good day out. Visitors welcome.Reviewer Rating

This was my first time on the course, very tricky in places and if you don't know the course very challenging. I would recommend a powered trolley as you are climbing mounting. The course would make a lot of money if they invested in golf carts.

Short, but very challenging, especially if you don't hit straight. Some spectacular views and holes. A few blind greens. Normally well maintained, although the greens have suffered with the rain of summer 2012.
Clubhouse is great. Food is excellent and the staff are very friendly.

I thought this golf course was great fun. The short length is offset by the hilly nature. Some of the holes are so spectacular that you can't help but laugh. We were holiday visitors and I think that's probably the ideal type of golf for here. If I had to play it in the Medal every month I might not be so keen!

Hilly and then some
A very hilly course which requires a motorised trolley unless you like carrying a heavy bag up mountain sides. Some of the greens are patchy but run absolutely true so holing from 10 ft or less is always on. The short 13th is one of several great holes.Reviewer Rating

A tight parkland course where you know you've played well if you make a good score. Some spectacular views around the course. Small greens make for accurate iron play with some serious punishment if you miss on the low side of the green. Greens were in excellent condition, rolling fast and true which is what you want.
The clubhouse is a modern open ans spacious design with superb views over the Pentland Hills .

Perhaps best summed up by its feature hole the 13th "Top o the World" where from an incredible vista point at the top of a hill you are invited to lauch the ball into the stratosphere somehow judging to land the ball on the green 220 yds away and perhaps 100m below you.
A quite tricky and hilly course tho not very long.

Crazy Golf
Really not my cup of tea. Hilliest course I ever played. Strathpeffer Comrie and Craigie Hill are bowling greens in comparison. Very few flat lies and some serious climbing up and down.A lot of frankly dangerous shared fairways with crossing holes. Friendly pro and members, but a unique experience that didn't suit me. Nice views across Edinburgh

Potential being let slip
More should be done to rescue this interesting medium course with a good location in Edinburgh. People looked flat, the pro looked flat, the course looked flat.... in all but geology. Tee boxes looked shabby, some greens were in very poor condition and a layout that directs several holes directly into the prevailing winds is looking to cram holes into a space rather than think of the player. It had so much more potential.....that said it is worth the green fees just to play the 13th hole. This course is very much geared to high handicappers and ladies.Reviewer Rating
