    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!

    I'm not a golfer, so excuse the lack of technical knowledge here. I am, however, a student and…read morealways out on pub golf nights. Thus, I've been in here a few times for inspiration - but never bought anything because it's quite pricey. They sell all your typical golf needs - clothes, putters, shoes etc etc. It's your one-stop-golf shop! the staff are really friendly too, I always feel quite bad for looking around and not buying. They must have cottoned on by now, surely. Overall, if you need inspiration or if you want something golf-related, this is your place!!

    If you need anything golf related, the Rose Street Golf Shop is the place to go. Situated in the…read morecentre of Rose Street, the Golf Shop is right in the centre of the city and it is just around the corner from the main shopping street in Edinburgh, Princes Street, and so it is a convenient place to reach. I am not really that into golfing, but one of my friends love it (probably borderline obsessed with it) and he is always raving about this store and so I came with him one time, and I have to say, I absolutely loved this store. It sells absolutely everything you could ever require in order to play golf. They sell the clubs, balls, clothes, shoes, bags, hats and a vast range of golfing accessories. I will admit that I was pretty tempted to buy a women's golfing jumper as it looked beautiful and soft, but I restrained myself! The staff in the Golf Shop are really friendly and welcoming and are incredibly knowledgeable about everything relating to golf, and so no matter what your question is, these guys will be able to answer it. Rose Street Golf Shop is a little gem of a store, and you don't have to be a golfing enthusiast to appreciate it.

    What a treat it was to walk the Old Course here at the birthplace of golf.  This is the world's…read moreoldest golf course, and golf started here in the early 15th century.  We were super lucky to be scheduled to come here on a Sunday when the course is closed for play (except for pro tournaments) and open to the public like us to meander about.  Yet there was an untimely pro tournament ongoing the day we were here, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, but fortunately play had moved along, and we could still wander about.  The wife and I got onto the 18th fairway and captured a memorable photo with the famous Royal and Ancient Golf Club clubhouse situated by the 18th green.  The British Open is often played here, and I've uninterestingly watched snippets of it over the years, but in the future it will be fun to watch it much more closely as I've now set foot on this famous course.  I also in retrospect wished I had time to go by the 17th hole, widely known to be the golf world's most famous and difficult par 4 hole.  You can look it up, it's riiidiiiculous! and major championships have been lost or won on that hole.  Anyway, it was a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit here, and in good weather to boot.
