Felipe Gonzalez

Free park par3 golf course. Full experience from late April until mid September. Rest of time only a few winter holes open.

5 stars because its free. Dont expect any greens or tee box conditions, because again its free. Also you can brag to your friends that you golfed in Scotland. The Golf Tavern has clubs AND golf balls that you can rent for 10lb which also comes with beer.

A great city park with nice views of the Edinburgh Castle. There is ample space for children and it is nearby a lot of amenities. This winter there was snow and it was great for sledding!
