Craigmillar Park Golf Club

Really enjoyed Craigmillar Park. A relatively short course but with some challenging holes and overall a good layout which can allow you to score if playing well. Pretty hilly but manageable. Will certainly return and may be my go to course while in Edinburgh and looking for a fun game.

Fantastic course , staff really friendly particularly barman . The conditions were amazing . I would add my 65 year old dad who is pretty fit for his age struggled so not for the faint or weak hearted . I also think that at busier tee offs due to the tight nature of the course it may become slow and congested we found it really slow at start however pace of play improved .

Played this course on short notice while in Edinburgh. Very hilly layout. Course was in good condition.

The hills make this course a challenge, the views make it spectacular! Each hole presents its own unique challenge.
Allen, the club pro was welcoming and helpful.
The locals helped us along the way to know the quirks and help avoid the potential problems.
We’d gladly play there again!

My wife and I played with a 12.10 tee time that followed a monthly medal, which we assumed would hold up the pace of play. The members went out in three-balls and didn't slow us down at all.

The club house was friendly and welcoming and Alan Wright, the Pro was friendly and helpful.

We really enjoyed the layout. Because of the hills there are a number of blind shots and some were longer than we imagined but as long as you're not too wayward it was fine. There were a number of uphill holes, but it seemed as though we played from elevated tees more often than facing an uphill drive, which is clearly down to the clever course design (originally by James Braid I understand).

The greens were in really good nick and fairways offered plenty of roll and were generally well tended. As we followed some members we navigated OK but there didn't appear to be a lot of signage (although there is a good layout map on the score card). Bunkers had plenty of sand and overall the course was in good condition and is well looked after. It's tight in a few places, with signs asking you to wait until you the group in front have cleared the next tee-box and the 10th fairway crossing over the first, but that just added to its charm.

It's not a long course, and the hills make up for the lack of yardage but it is certainly a great city course with some fantastic views of the surrounding streets and hills, including Arthur's Seat. It is also surprisingly quiet and pretty tranquil with only the faintest amounts of traffic noise, which was a very pleasant surprise.

We thoroughly enjoyed our round and would recommend the course to anyone. There's something for everyone, some scoring opportunities as well as a few challenges (which for me on the day was the par three's for some reason).

We'll be back next time we're up and will look forward to playing Craigmillar again.

Played on a sunny day with spectacular views. Loved the course. Great condition.

Well kept course. Brilliant greens, 18 of them rolled perfect. We where just on time and the pro could not be more helpful, absolutely excellent service. Would definitely recommend a wee round here, quite hilly though so a push cart would be handy if you struggle walking hilly courses. Thoroughly enjoyed my round and managed to shoot 75 on my first visit.
