5 years on its time to publish the membership criteria

Golf is a sociable game and all members are expected to stay behind after the game to bore incessantly about the round of golf they've just witnessed with their playing partners. Its not about your own game or your own stories, it is quite simply about your playing partners. THey dont want to hear you talk about your game, rather its their own observations on your game that are quite simply the only important contribution. So now having listed the only real criteria we can move onto the invites.

The Edinburgh Golf Club is based at Prestonfield Golf Club

Over 120 members of the Edinburgh Golf Club, a non course owning club, attended the winter meeting held recently at Prestonfield Golf Club, the city centre club.

A traditional James Braid parkland course that was rejuvenated in the 1990's to the course we now all play.

Our Spring Meeting sees the cherry blossom line the top end of the course, while the Summer Meeting is often played out over a hard and fast course. Traditional Scottish greens that require good ball control or touch to ensure close proximity to the tight pin placements offer birdies.

My favourite time of year is the Autumn Meeting in September. If you can join us let me know. Our overseas membership continues to grow so please get in touch.
