Ravelston Golf Course

Ravelston Golf Club is a 9-hole parkland course located 1.5 miles from Edinburgh city centre, nestled within the landscapes of Murrayfield and Ravelston. Established in 1912, it was designed by James Braid, the Open Champion and renowned course architect. The course presents a deceptively challenging layout suitable for golfers of all skill levels, featuring tricky, undulating greens that test putting ability with subtle slopes. The course offers exceptional views across Edinburgh's rooftops, with vistas of Edinburgh Castle and city spires on one side, and the Firth of Forth with the rolling hills of Fife on the other. Set within a tranquil parkland setting, Ravelston provides a captivating golfing experience that balances accessibility for beginners with sufficient challenge for experienced players. The club emphasises its welcoming community atmosphere and village-like character despite its city-centre location.
