Royal Burgess
This is another history-laden club originally designed by
Willie Park Jr. With an opening boast of being the oldest
golf club in the world you can be sure there is a rich
and intriguing history here. See if you can find the King’s
gold ball. The course is a fine, old parkland where numerous varieties of
towering trees will hinder and frustrate the wayward. The course may not
be long (6531 yards, par 71) but the many doglegs and the water hazards
mean your driver will need to be employed with caution as you seek out
the perfect position for your approach. The course is always beautifully
maintained and it is well known for its smooth fast greens and smartly
positioned bunkers. The 18th is a 244 yard par four off the back tees or
an eye-catching 232 yard par three from the whites. The course coasts
alongside Bruntsfield Links on the outer holes.
