Bruntsfield Links, and its Golfing Society, is one of Edinburgh's truly historic institutions, dating back to 1761. The club moved to its current location in 1898 & is only 20 minutes from Edinburgh airport, only 3 miles from Edinburgh city centre and 1 hour from The Old Course at St Andrews. Visitors to Bruntsfield can enjoy a memorabilia collection of clubs, balls and historic paintings which date back to the origins of the game.

The course was designed by Willie Park Jnr with subsequent revisions by Dr Alister MacKenzie in the 1920s and Fred Hawtree in the 1970s. Bruntsfield has hosted many tournaments since including the Senior Amateur Championship, Scottish Mid Amateur Championship, Lothians Championship and was a Regional Qualifying course for The Open between 2011 and 2015.

Bruntsfield Links has recently been re-developed by the highly acclaimed golf course architects Mackenzie & Ebert to establish itself as one of Edinburgh golf's leading organisations.

Bruntsfield Links

The course itself is a delightful rolling parkland test, located just a few yards in places from the Royal Burgess. Spectacular views across the Firth of Forth are assured at Bruntsfield, as is your enjoyment of a terrific layout.

Bruntsfield Links is the 4th oldest Golfing Society in the world and steeped in the best traditions and history of the game. The beautifully manicured fairways wind through mature trees to undulating greens with deceptive slopes and subtle borrows.

Despite its name Bruntsfield Links is not a links course, it is a challenging, well developed parkland layout with panoramic views over the Firth of Forth making it one of the best courses around the Edinburgh City..

Bruntsfield hosts the 2015 Regional Open Qualifier this June, a great honour and testament to the course. The grand clubhouse offers excellent dining facilities, famous for Golfers Lunches which are often said to be on a par with those at Muirfield and Prestwick.

Bruntsfield has been the venue for several R&A and SGU championships, and in 2011, their 250th year, became a Regional Qualifying Venue for the Open Championship. But no matter what your golfing aspirations may be, you can be assured of a warm welcome to Bruntsfield.

Bruntsfield Links is situated 5 miles west of Edinburgh off the A90.
