Royal Musselburgh

6,237 yards • par 70

This parkland course was designed by James Braid and in contrast to many of East Lothian’s courses offers golfers’ views of Edinburgh and Arthur’s Seat.  

One of the oldest clubs in the world, the magnificent clubhouse has a superb collection of golfing memorabilia. 

Royal Musselburgh was founded in 1774 and was originally played over the famous nine-hole links course at Levenhall, Musselburgh. In 1926 the move was made to Prestongrange House, Prestonpans.  

The golfing challenge comes on the homeward stretch where a series of par fours are well protected by trees. 

From the medal tee at the 15th, for example, which is huddled tight beside the trees to the left, only a precision drive will suffice in order to find the rolling fairway. From there a long iron is played over an uphill approach to a tilting green.
