The Ratho Park Golf Club offers a true parkland course. It is built within the park of a Georgian mansion. The golf course is reckoned as one of James Braid's finest creations; the golfer and designer opened it with a match against Harry Vardon in 1928.

Ratho Park Golf Club is an easily walked course, measuring just 5960 yards, and features several challenging holes at different lengths. A round of golf kicks off on Corstorphine, a par 4 that measures 258 yards from the white tees. The Long Hole, as it is named, is the 11th, a 519-yard par-5 monster.

You'll be thinking clubhouse by the time you reach The Terrace, the 360-yard par-4 18th. Then that's exactly where you should head, as the Ratho Park Golf Club's bar and restaurant will serve your needs and soothe your feet seven days a week.

Gem of a course

A beautiful parkland course 15mins from central Edinburgh. The course is set in the grounds of a stately home and was in excellent condition.

The course is very attractive with a selection of challenging holes. The green were superb. Ratho Park is a real gem of a course.

Course layout

Enjoyed playing this course as a preview to playing at end of May..friendly staff and as a solo player paired up with member.. So thanks Brian for the guidance and chat..only thing to watch is the entry road as it goes through the course to the clubhouse..be aware of golfers on the tees and fairways..

Fantastic course

Played as a guest for the first time here with a friend.
Absolutely loved this course and will certainly be playing it again.

Course is forgiving on the fairways but some tricky pin positions.

Course was in great condition and will only get better from here.

Didn't even play.

The sat nav took me down a dead end, so I was running close to my 0900 tee time. I got to the 1st tee and pro shop at just before 5 to 9 and the pro told me the group I was supposed to be with had already teed off. He offered me a later tee time, but I had other plans that day. I gave him my email address and he said the secretary would email me on Monday either to arrange another date to play or so I could contact golf now for a refund.............. Nothing heard yet.

Autumn Golf

Played Ratho for the first time on a pleasant Sunday afternoon. I was told from various sources beforehand that this is shortish, relatively flat, well conditioned course and I cannot disagree. The layout of the course is very good, with holes 9,14 and 15 being the standouts, however course conditioning is the real winner here! Greens and fairways were in superb condition for late October, I can only imagine it's absolutely pristine in peak summer
