Founded in 1908, Kingsknowe Golf Club has a custom-built golf clubhouse which dominates the magnificent vista formed by the approach from the course to the 18th green. With an elegant view across north east Edinburgh to the old and new Forth Bridges and the Queensferry Crossing, the clubhouse is home to around 550 members who have successfully married the traditions of golf with a welcoming outlook on what is required for a 21st Century club.

We extend a warm welcome to members and visiting golfers alike, with large parties and societies catered for.

The Course Report

From 4 distinct but challenging par threes to dogleg par fours, Kingsknowe Golf Club offers a fair test of every aspect of a golfer's skills - whatever your ability level. Originally designed by 1902 Open champion Alec Herd and later James Braid, the course is a parkland course laid out over gently rolling hills lined with cherry trees making it particularly inviting in the spring.

My wife and I attended an Italian style evening run by the club. The evening started with a nice touch - a compère welcomed us all and explained the format of the evening together with what food was on the buffet table. After each course the compère advised us when it was our turn to go up for our next course. All in all a great experience. The food was plentiful and delicious. Can’t wait for the next one. Well done Kingsknowe GC.

Great course. Inviting par 3s, few long par 4s mixed with shorter, more forgiving holes. Rate of play good. Excellent views over Edinburgh. 👏

I attended a memorial service here today which was very emotional of course.
The staff were very respectful, professional and went out of their way to meet the needs of the attendees.
The finger food buffet had a grwat selection of veg and no-veg foods, and the ones I sampled were delicious.b

Food was really good and clubhouse is lovely. Golf course was in great condition with greens and fairways well maintained and running true. Some interesting holes but not an overly difficult course. It is quite a walk though with a lot of up and down hill walking but well worth playing.

A great golf course which surprised me with the genuine variety and great condition of greens fairways. The degree of difficulty is up there with the best . Kitchen and staff were spot on for quality and pleasantness. A pleasure I hope to repeat.

We view the fun and excitement of friends and families every day enthused about the courses challenges. But it’s much more. It’s about duh, chums, freedom and enjoyment. Simply the best! 👍

Good course and layout,,,
Only problem I encountered was paying the full visitors fee ×2, to play 9 full greens as other 9 where being hollow tinned/sanded.
Was not made aware of this before paying and playing.

Gives you a huge variety of shots, and makes the membership worth it. Food and services are top quality too - definitely not disappointed. Only problem would be that kids seem to find a way on to the golf course and that can cause distractions and is quite annoying, so if the fences could be fixed to prevent kids from going through them, that would be perfect.

We where passing by from Canada and asked to play, and we were very welcome. We were able to rent golf clubs (even left handed...) and the pro was very helpful and really enjoyed our time overthere ! Lots of fun. And it was sunny !
