Kingsknowe Golf Club

Overview: Designed by five-time Open champion James Braid, Kingsknowe Golf Club is a splendid 18-hole parkland course tucked securely within the valleys surrounding south-west Edinburgh. The layout is a par 70, measuring approximately 6,000 yards, and is heavily defined by its exceptionally undulating topography and dense woodland borders. Braid’s architectural brilliance is immediately apparent in the clever routing, which weaves through ravines and natural gullies, demanding precision and excellent course management. Kingsknowe provides a tranquil, technically rigorous escape just minutes from the bustling city centre.

Did You Know? The estate grounds on which the course is built originally belonged to the prominent local Hailes family. The course’s profound elevation changes mean that almost every hole presents an intriguingly different perspective, ensuring an exceptionally varied and memorable round.
