Great golf course. Fantastic view! On the list as "to do" if you like links courses and you don't mind windy conditions!

Archerfield Links - Beds for two

Archerfield Links

I stayed in a lodge at Archerfield Links with my fiancé at a wedding of a friends. As far as I can…read moretell, they booked the whole resort (including many lodges and the main mansion) and the wedding was held nearby in an old Scottish town. They bride and groom also held welcome drinks in the golf club (which boasts a bar and restaurant). The wedding was at the start of January (so very cold)! Let me first say... the place is amazing! The lodge we stayed in had 3 master bedrooms (each with a ensuite bathroom with a shower and bathtub), a twin bedroom, a beautiful living room with tons of books and sofas and open kitchen. It also had a terrace (but I didn't venture outside due to the cold) overlooking the golf course. In the distance you could see the sea and a town which supposedly resides on the grounds. The rooms were amazing - the beds incredibly comfortable, very spacious and home-y. I only wish I could live there! The staff were also great and shuttled everyone to and from the clubhouse. They were all very friendly and professional. The mansion (if you're lucky enough to stay in it) is just out of this world. If you're not used to old classical British buildings, you'll be blown out of the water. The decor is great, they have a pool table and smoking room and tons of cigars which you can purchase for about 10 GBP (my computer doesn't have a pound sign, sigh). All in all, I would 100% recommend hosting a wedding here and also visiting (perhaps to play some golf if you're inclined to).

I'm not a golfer, so I can only comment on the aesthetic qualities of this public golf course!…read more It's the first one of its kind I've come across and knowing how expensive golf memberships can be, I think it's a fantastic idea. Having relocated to Bruntsfield for the last month or so, I've had to walk through the Links to the adjoining Meadows park at least fifty times! It's been pleasant and relaxing though, and like all the public parks in Edinburgh it's wonderfully maintained; old gnarley trees not out of place in Edins and plenty of plush, green grass! Size-wise, there are no extensive holes, and I'd say it's a place better designed to practice putting. It's well utilized by the location population, usually irrespective of the weather, and for the non-golfing folk such as myself, it's a great place to relax with a book or have a little picnic. Granted you MIGHT get hit in the head by a golf ball, but there are areas where this risk is significantly reduced.

The Links are a hillier alternative to Meadows. It's also way emptier most of the time. Beware of…read moregolfers, though. They're merciless, or at least I generally assume they are. I'd say it's a safe assumption to make of all people who wield metal rods. And hit things with it. On purpose. Rumour goes that the Links are hilly because there are thousands of plague victims buried there. The same goes for Greyfriar's Graveyard. But that makes more sense than a public park. The Links has a spectacular view of Arthur's Seat (on the days there isn't fog and generally miserable weather), and as you walk up towards the end of the park and look up towards Bruntsfield you'll get a great glimpse of the waterfront too. In the Summertime, it's a perfect place to go if you're feeling particularly sentimental at around 4 in the morning after a party or two, to watch the sunrise. Yes, the sun rises around 4-5 am here now. You may as well go crazy and watch the sunset around 10-11 from there too!

We played Jubilee in St. Andrews and Western Gailes outside Glasgow during a Scotland trip and Elie…read morewas very easily our favorite course. The staff were great, but probably more importantly the course was amazing and didn't have to rely solely on being narrow to make it challenging. If your thing is having a great view of the coast, this is also your jam. This is the easily the best course we played in Scotland and one of the best courses we've played in any country. They do an excellent job of using elevation change, bunkers, and undulations to make the course extremely interesting. We will absolutely be back.

4.5 stars If I…read moreremember correctly, this was the first course I ever played in Scotland. I was a wee bit nervous and excited -- and the first tee didn't help. It's a blind shot and am sure more than one person has hit the starter's quarters off the tee. Fortunately I did not add my name to that list. The first Club The Elie and Earlsferry Golf Club was formed in 1832. A clubhouse or what was known as a golf house was built in 1875, and the opportunity was taken to use this name to form a new club in the same year, The Golf House Club. By 1896 more land had been leased enabling an 18 hole course to be laid out, which bar a few minor alterations is the course played today. It's a very fun course and a great layout -- a little tight in a few areas with good exposure to the elements -- the wind certainly does blow. Our last trip to Scotland included another visit to Elie and it proved to be just as enjoyable (even if it poured for half of the round). A good value as well. Hope to return.
