The home of golf

Golf

Everyone knows that Scotland is the home of golf. But not everyone knows that the world's first ever club was formed in Scotland, The Royal Burgess in 1734.

Golf continues to be a great draw in Edinburgh and there are literally dozens of golf courses in and around the city. Details of courses run by Edinburgh Council can be found at edinburghleisure.co.uk/webpages/golf.php.
