Situated to the west of Edinburgh Kingsknowe is within easy
reach of all Scotland via the Edinburgh City Bypass. Originally
designed by Alec Herd, the 1902 Open champion, the course was later
redesigned by James Braid. The course is laid out over and through
the valleys of gently rolling hills on which Oliver Cromwells army
gathered to bombard Redhall Castle in 1650. The hills now define
the picturesque cherry tree-lined fairways from which the mindful
golfer must propel his ball to the well-guarded and relatively
small greens. There are several tough dogleg par fours throughout
the 18 with the feature hole coming at the 460-yard par four
sixteenth.
