Frequently Asked Questions

Is Turnhouse Golf Club a good challenge for experienced golfers, or is it more beginner-friendly?

Don't let the Par 69 fool you; Turnhouse offers a surprisingly engaging round with its tight fairways and clever bunkering. While not a brute, you'll need precision off the tee and smart course management to score well, making it enjoyable for all handicaps.

When is the best time of year to play Turnhouse Golf Club for optimal conditions?

We always recommend late spring through early autumn - May to September - for the best chance of drier fairways and longer daylight hours. While Scottish weather is always a gamble, visiting then gives you the best odds for a pleasant round without the winter chill.

How does Turnhouse compare in terms of green fees to other courses around Edinburgh?

Turnhouse offers excellent value, especially when you consider its convenient location and well-maintained greens. You'll find it's a much more accessible option than some of the pricier championship courses nearby, making it a smart choice for a quality round without breaking the bank.

What's a standout feature or hole at Turnhouse that golfers should look forward to?

The course truly shines with its clever use of elevation, particularly around the 5th and 6th holes, where you'll find some dramatic uphill and downhill shots. These holes demand smart club selection and offer rewarding views over the surrounding landscape if you hit your mark.

Is Turnhouse Golf Club easy to access from Edinburgh city centre or the airport?

Absolutely, Turnhouse is incredibly convenient, located just a stone's throw from Edinburgh Airport and a short drive from the city centre. Its accessibility makes it an ideal first or last round for your Scottish golf trip, saving you precious travel time.
