Play golf
Merchants of Edinburgh offers one of the most unique golfing experiences in Scotland’s capital. Originally designed by Ben Sayers and remodelled in 1936 by the legendary James Braid, the course is built around the natural contours of the landscape and rewards smart play over raw power.
Eat & drink
Led by experienced chefs from some of Scotland’s finest kitchens, we have created a sanctuary for food lovers. We are open to anyone, so come along for a mid-week brunch or a post-round meal. We look forward to welcoming you.
The Merchants Experience
Nestled in the hills of Morningside, Merchants of Edinburgh Golf Club has been a hub for those who love the game since 1907. Today, we welcome both golfers and foodies looking for a unique experience.
Whether you’re here for a round of golf, to enjoy lunch with a view, or host a memorable event, you’ll find an experience that feels both historic and refreshingly modern.
The Course: A Legacy of Design
Golf with Unrivalled Views of Edinburgh
Our par 65 course is a true masterclass in precision and strategy. Originally designed by Ben Sayers and masterfully remodelled by the legendary James Braid, the layout follows the natural contours of the Easter and Wester Craiglockhart Hills. Enjoy a panoramic view stretching from Edinburgh Castle to the Firth of Forth from the 10th tee.
Our challenging 18 holes fits into a busy lifestyle, where you can get a quick round without demanding your entire day.
