Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bruntsfield Links Short Hole Course good for non-golfers or families with kids?

Absolutely, this is one of the best spots in Edinburgh for a relaxed introduction to golf. Its 36 short holes are perfect for all ages and skill levels, making it more about fun than serious competition. You'll find it incredibly welcoming, a true public park experience.

When's the best time to play Bruntsfield Links Short Hole Course to avoid the Scottish weather?

We highly recommend visiting between May and September for the best chance of dry, mild weather. While Scotland is always a gamble, these months offer longer daylight hours and the most pleasant conditions for an open-air pitch and putt. Just remember to pack layers - it's Scotland, after all!

How much does it cost to play the Bruntsfield Links Short Hole Course, and do I need my own clubs?

Playing here is incredibly affordable, often just a few pounds for a round, making it fantastic value. You don't need your own gear; clubs and balls are readily available for rent right on site, so you can literally just show up and play. It's designed for spontaneous fun.

What makes the Bruntsfield Links Short Hole Course stand out from other pitch and putts?

Its sheer scale with 36 holes is a major draw, offering a surprising variety for a short course. What truly sets it apart, though, is its historic location right in the heart of Edinburgh, providing charming city views as you play. It feels like a genuine piece of local life, not just a golf course.

Can I just turn up and play at Bruntsfield Links, or do I need to book a tee time?

You can almost always just turn up and play; tee times aren't typically required for this casual course. It operates on a first-come, first-served basis, much like a public park amenity. We suggest heading over whenever you have a spare hour or two.
