Braid Hills
Braid Hills Golf Course is named after its location (Braid Hill), not its original designers (Ferguson and McEwan). The legendary golfer and golf course designer James Braid did not design the course, but he did play many rounds here while developing his game. As did another legendary Scottish golfer, Tommy Armour.
Relatively short at only 5,865 yards from the tips, the par-71 layout offers outstanding views south to the Pentland Hills, and stunning panoramas across Edinburgh’s skyline to the Firth of Forth and beyond.
