MUSSELBURGH
The Musselburgh Golf Course offers a demanding parkland course, which nestles in a loop formed by the River Esk, overlooked by the historic village of Inveresk and its hilltop church. This is well laid out parkland with wide, generous fairways to air your driver, which you will need to play well as crossing a burn comes into play at several points. It's a big course with not a weak hole! Set in an expansive 145 acres, it has generous, tree-lined fairways, large undulating greens, multiple tees and is lavishly bunkered. The view from the clubhouse is of a vast emerald carpet with avenues of dense trees.

The Clubhouse has a superb location, looking down the first and a great view coming up the eighteenth. The Clubhouse has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and is open from 8am until 11:30pm. The facilities include a dining area and two well-stocked bars, ample parking, gents, ladies and visitor changing rooms with secure lockers and good showers.
