This parkland golf course was designed by the renowned Scottish golf architect
James Braid. From some holes you will enjoy views towards
Edinburgh and Arthur's Seat.
Royal Musselburgh Golf Club was established in
1774 and members played originally on the old Musselburgh links. The Old Links are now in the
middle of the town's horse racing course.
The current golf course is mildly undulating parkland through distinctive avenues of
mature trees. The golfing challenge comes on the homeward stretch where a
series of par 4s are well protected by trees. One of the most interesting holes
is the 14th, 'The Gully', a par 3 where, if you play short, you will encounter
a 50-60 foot drop ahead of the green.
The club has the oldest golf trophy still played for competitively anywhere in
the world, dating back to 1773. The castellated clubhouse in part
dates back to the 12th century and has an interesting collection of golfing
memorabilia.
