Broomieknowe Golf Club
About
Broomieknowe Golf Club, six miles outside Edinburgh, features a well-aged parkland course in top shape. It's an easily walked golf course, the product of legendary course designers Ben Sayers and James Braid, with the first creating the layout and the second extending it.
Broomieknowe Golf Club's course - 6,172 yards, with a standard-scratch score and par of 70 each - offers a great golfing challenge. A round of golf kicks off on Fairway, as the first hole is called, a gentle 316-yard par 4 that requires a straight shot clear of the trees on both sides and then a short iron to hit the green. Battle your way through Mary's Dyke, the Cockpen, Robin's Nest and 13 other holes. You'll reach Knowesend, a 318-yard par 4, where you'll need to tee-off nicely to clear the gap in the trees (they grow, so visit when they're short or wait until they become even more of a challenge). From there, hit a short iron to a green bunkered on the left and right.
After your round at the Broomieknowe Golf Club, hit up the lounge for an informal atmosphere, quality food and its variety of beers.

A wonderful golf experience
Broomieknowe Golf Club was a great golf experience...and a great value. It is about a 40 minute drive from where we stayed in downtown Edinburgh. This was the first course we played in Scotland and my wife and I really enjoyed it. This 112 year old course is in excellent condition, the Greens are fast, with subtle breaks. At first glance, we thought it would be an easy round as the course looks very flat with tree lined fairways. As a 66 year old, I don't hit long, but generally straight. I played from the tips. As one plays through the course, the golfer discovers terrain variations and long par 4s which made bogey look good.
This course is not a championship course, but that is not what we were looking for. We found a wonderful walkable course, with trolley, that was extremely enjoyable. The staff and members were great. The clubhouse is pretty basic, but the bar and restaurant are warm and cozy, full of old trophies and other memorabilia.The kitchen opened up a bit early for us and provided a great little breakfast. Members were curious about us and we had great conversations. The only down side was there were few amenities on the course. No water, few ball washers and no bathrooms that we could see - my wife had to find the bushes off the ninth fairway. Still, this was a great first time golf experience in Scot
Great off course training facilities
Myself and friend played B/knowe for a tie we needed to complete for a society we are both members of. Prior to our round, Mark/pro let us see the trackman/training facilities located within clubhouse. I was extremely impressed when I saw the tailor made room and technology! All members around the pro shop all seemed very friendly, and many hello’s were exchanged. The weather was not on our side. But I will be back, and would recomend to tourists and visitors looking for an all round good package/price day out.

Disappointed
Very little grass on the "fairways" in places. Large section of 1 hole marked as gur - from maybe 100yds in, on a blind up hill dogleg approach 🤦🏻♂️ staff went round in front of us cutting fresh holes for us...majorly held up as a result. Was approximately a 10 person staff meeting on one of the par 3 greens we were waiting to play - can only assume someone was taking the lunch orders. I was happy to get this course on a hot deal for £14 - after playing I think they should refund us at least £10 each 🤣
Slow
Don't make a booking for mid morning weekdays. 2 hours for 9 holes!
Good course
First 3 holes and last 3 holes ok..but other 12 really good.. greens and course in good condition..lots of trees ! But decent course
Trees trees trees
Very tight course, have to be accurate off the tee or you’re in trouble pretty much anywhere! Greens very hard and quick but not in the best condition. Early season so can’t be too critical. Overall a brilliant test of golf!
Only fault I could find with the golf course was we couldn’t get breakfast before we started as it doesn’t start serving till 11am
Deceptive start
First 3 holes straight up and down , easy and flat , then through a wall and across into a tremendous course, lots of up and ,down, long challenging par 4s. Great fun.
