Amazing course with stunning views of the coast. Expect to play in the wind and hail at times even in April. We were worried when it snowed the night before but the course told us to come out anyways and would wait until the weather improved which it did. The temperature was 38 degrees when we started and ended at 45 degrees. It was still one of the greatest days of golf that I could remember.

I'm not a golfer, so I can only comment on the aesthetic qualities of this public golf course!…read more It's the first one of its kind I've come across and knowing how expensive golf memberships can be, I think it's a fantastic idea. Having relocated to Bruntsfield for the last month or so, I've had to walk through the Links to the adjoining Meadows park at least fifty times! It's been pleasant and relaxing though, and like all the public parks in Edinburgh it's wonderfully maintained; old gnarley trees not out of place in Edins and plenty of plush, green grass! Size-wise, there are no extensive holes, and I'd say it's a place better designed to practice putting. It's well utilized by the location population, usually irrespective of the weather, and for the non-golfing folk such as myself, it's a great place to relax with a book or have a little picnic. Granted you MIGHT get hit in the head by a golf ball, but there are areas where this risk is significantly reduced.

The Links are a hillier alternative to Meadows. It's also way emptier most of the time. Beware of…read moregolfers, though. They're merciless, or at least I generally assume they are. I'd say it's a safe assumption to make of all people who wield metal rods. And hit things with it. On purpose. Rumour goes that the Links are hilly because there are thousands of plague victims buried there. The same goes for Greyfriar's Graveyard. But that makes more sense than a public park. The Links has a spectacular view of Arthur's Seat (on the days there isn't fog and generally miserable weather), and as you walk up towards the end of the park and look up towards Bruntsfield you'll get a great glimpse of the waterfront too. In the Summertime, it's a perfect place to go if you're feeling particularly sentimental at around 4 in the morning after a party or two, to watch the sunrise. Yes, the sun rises around 4-5 am here now. You may as well go crazy and watch the sunset around 10-11 from there too!

With our recent visit to St. Andrews we received coupons for different golf clothing/equipment stores. Hoping to find an emblemed sweater to take home we first went to the golf locations such as the Old Course, etc. One women behind the counter of a competitor told us of Auchterlonies when I expressed I wanted more selection. Happily surprised when we arrived, we purchased a women's quilted vest, a man's sweater and a set of crystal whiskey glasses. All the other stores had these but Auchterlonies had wider selection and better prices.
