East Lothian & Edinburgh Golf Holidays and Breaks
Golden-sand links, Firth of Forth views and a world-class city base — Scotland’s Golf Coast made easy.
Your Next Golf Break in East Lothian & Edinburgh: Golden Coast Links & City Culture
East Lothian’s “Golf Coast” strings together a run of classic links along the Firth of Forth, while Edinburgh adds a world-class city base with easy rail and air access. Expect firm, running fairways, dune-framed holes and traditional clubhouses — plus skyline views, historic streets and great dining after the round.
Base yourself in North Berwick, Gullane, Dunbar or central Edinburgh for short transfers to marquee links and quietly superb neighbours across a compact coastline.

The Ultimate Guide to Golf Hotels in East Lothian & Edinburgh
- North Berwick and Gullane give the pure seaside vibe: boutique inns and coastal hotels a few minutes from the first tee, with harbour walks and sunset dinners.
- Edinburgh city stays suit groups wanting museums, bars and restaurants on the doorstep; morning transfers to East Lothian courses are typically 30–45 minutes.
- Countryside lodges and resort-style properties between the city and coast offer on-site leisure, spa and easy parking — ideal for “arrive, unpack, relax” weekends.
- Build a balanced plan: one marquee links day, one neighbouring coastal classic, and (optionally) a more sheltered inland/parkland round. Par5 Escapes can pace tee times and hotel style around your budget, handicap mix and preferred travel window.
