Established in 1938, The Musselburgh Golf Club is situated in a stunning, mature parkland location just a few miles outside Edinburgh. I became Captain of Musselburgh Golf Club in 2020 and it is a privilege to serve this prestigious club at the highest level. Our outstanding championship course is arguably one of the finest in east central Scotland.
Designed by James Braid the course is enjoyable and accessible for all standard of golfer. Over the years the course has hosted many amateur championships and on two occasions the Scottish Professional Championship. It has had the distinction of being both a Regional Qualifying course as well as a Local Final Qualifying venue for THE OPEN.

History
Report
Golf began at 'Monktonhall' in 1938 with famous players including Henry Cotton playing in an exhibition match. The site of the course was previously agricultural land and the brief to James Braid was to design a championship course. Braid's response was "if you want a championship course you need length".
The Clubhouse
Report
The Musselburgh Golf Club extends a warm welcome and invitation to all of our members and golfing visitors to make use of the facilities in our iconic Clubhouse. The extensive lounge and bar overlook the 1st tee and 18th green, with panoramic views to further parts of the course. The 18th green sits next to the Clubhouse, in full view of the patio area - a sun trap when the weather is kind.
