You do not need a car, or golf clubs, to play good golf in Edinburgh

Golf Courses:  21 in the City & 29 in the County

Golf Pass gives access to 12 County courses of, say, second division quality.  A booklet is available from the Tourist Office at Waverley Train Station.

Braid Hills: 2 public courses (up hill & down hill), one of Championship Quality.  Both courses are equal ‘best bargains’ with a course fee of £7 ($11).  The views are terrific. A local bus gets you there (to South Edinburgh).

City delightful. University City with probably the oldest Cathedral in Scotland

Golf Courses:  4 championship courses. 1 made famous by TV & 3 others as good but no queues. To play the famous course, golfers need a signed declaration of competence from their local club secretary & need to book ahead.

Transport: one ticket from Waverley Train Station takes you to the golf course (by train to Leuchars then bus for last 5 miles) or golfers can hire a car

Golf Courses: 425 (20 only require qualifications similar to St Andrews)
