What the club says: Royal Musselburgh Golf Club is at the start of the famous stretch of golf courses on the East Lothian coast, situated to the east of Musselburgh on the B1361, this picturesque parkland course is certainly worth the visit. The Club is the fifth oldest in the world originating at the 9 hole Musselburgh Levenhall links where the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, Royal Burgess Golfing Society and Bruntsfield Golf Club also played.

Reviewed Sep 3 2018 by Jim T - rated 4 out of 5 A lovely golf course, kept in excellent condition, there are lots of trees lining the fairways which enhance its appearance, and lots of bunkers to catch wayward shots, but the yardage allows all abilities to enjoy the course while requiring accuracy. I would highly recommend a visit here, and will look forward to a return trip.

Reviewed Jul 1 2018 by Arthur watson - rated 1 out of 5 Sixth oldest course in the world and what a let down,the royal status should be removed,etiquette of golf is none existing,people playing in vests come on.people playing on the wrong fairways no shouts of fore.the greens looked good but were rubbish to putt on,they were totally dead and slow.in my opinion the worst course I have played in Scotland.over played waiting on every tee box.

Reviewed Mar 22 2017 by Ian W - rated 4 out of 5 A friend recommended this fantastic old course and i'm glad he did. £20 to play such a treat. Some winter tee mats and a couple of winter greens - but still - great value for money! Also must mention the warm welcome in the pro-shop. Highly recommend!
