Frequently Asked Questions

What's the terrain like at Mortonhall - is it a flat stroll or a proper workout?

Mortonhall offers a pleasant mix; you'll find some gentle undulations and a few uphill climbs, but it's far from a mountain goat's trek. The mature parkland setting means you're often playing through tree-lined fairways, demanding accuracy over brute force.

When's the ideal time to play Mortonhall for the best course conditions and weather?

We always recommend late spring through early autumn - think May to September - for the driest fairways and most consistent weather. You'll enjoy longer daylight hours and the course will be in its prime, though a Scottish summer can still surprise you with a shower or two.

What specific views or holes make Mortonhall a memorable round?

Mortonhall truly shines with its panoramic views, especially from the higher points where you can spot Edinburgh Castle and the Forth bridges. Keep an eye out for the challenging par-3 13th, which demands a precise shot over a valley to a well-guarded green - it's a real test.

How do green fees at Mortonhall compare to other Edinburgh courses, and do I need to book far ahead?

You'll find Mortonhall's green fees are quite reasonable for a course of its quality so close to the city, generally sitting in the mid-range. We definitely advise booking your tee time online a few weeks in advance, especially if you're aiming for a weekend or peak season slot, as it gets busy.

Is the clubhouse at Mortonhall a good spot to relax and grab a bite after a round?

Absolutely, the clubhouse at Mortonhall is a welcoming place to unwind. You'll find a comfortable lounge and a bar serving up tasty post-round fare, with some lovely views from the patio overlooking the course - perfect for dissecting your round.
