Scotland is the home of golf, and Edinburgh is a perfect base for a golf trip. A minibus with a professional driver means the whole group travels together, clubs and bags go in the back, and nobody has to drive home after the nineteenth hole.
Popular golf destinations from Edinburgh
- East Lothian's links — the coast around Gullane, Muirfield and North Berwick has a famous run of courses within an hour of the city.
- St Andrews — the Home of Golf in Fife, about an hour and a half from Edinburgh by road.
- Carnoustie — on the Angus coast, north of Dundee.
- Gleneagles — in Perthshire, around an hour from the city.
- Musselburgh — the Old Course at Musselburgh is one of the oldest golf courses in the world.
Space for clubs and luggage
Golf bags take up more space than people expect. As a rough guide, count each set of clubs as one large suitcase when you enter your luggage, and we will only show vehicles with enough room. For groups of four, an 8-seat minibus is usually more comfortable than a car. For bigger societies, 16 and 24-seat minibuses or a coach keep everyone together.
Day hire or transfers?
If you are playing one course and coming straight back, book a return transfer with your tee time and finish time. For a full day with lunch, a second round or a stop on the way home, daily hire is usually simpler: the driver stays with you and the hours and miles included are shown on your quote.
