Merchants of Edinburgh Golf Club

An interesting layout dictated by the terrain around Easter and Wester Craiglockhart hills. It is undulating, hilly in parts, tree lined and well maintained with some superb views across the City of Edinburgh. It is a short, quirky course featuring a few blind shots that will tempt the ambitious visitor, while encompassing a mixture of rewarding and punishing holes. There are no par fives, although seven par threes allow the low handicapper to have a go at a few pins, while providing the mid-high handicapper with the opportunity to play to his/her handicap. The rough is not particularly punishing and there are only a few bunkers or artificially created hazards, so it should be an enjoyable round played over natural terrain.
