Course Description

Situated only ten minutes from Edinburgh Airport and within easy reach of Scotland's major motorway network, Niddry Castle is a fantastic 18-hole course which provides a true test to golfers of all abilities.

Expanded to 18 holes in 2003 after first opening as a nine-hole course in the 80s, the 5,914-yard layout negotiates its way around the historic Niddry Castle and offers stunning views towards the Pentland Hills, with free-draining land and up-to-date greens ensuring that you're bound to have an enjoyable round whatever time of the year you pay a visit.

If you can control your shots and manage a solid golf course, then this patch of parkland ought to be on your itinerary. Fire away at 'Cannons Drive', the 198-yard par-3 first hole, featuring a green that slopes away, while on the 524-yard par-5 sixth, you have to pick the right or left of the fairway off the tee to avoid sticking yourself behind a large tree for the second shot. The 18th is a fine closing hole, where hitting a straight tee shot is vital to avoid trees on either side.

A modern and progressive club, Niddry Castle has a more relaxed dress code than most with smart jeans permitted outside of competitions, while good food is guaranteed in the cosy clubhouse.
