Duddingston Golf Club

Founded in the shadow of Arthur's Seat and Duddingston Loch on the east side of Edinburgh, this Willie Park Jr.-designed parkland course is well respected across the Lothians as one of the county's finest tests, with a stern run of demanding par 4s from the 11th to the 13th. Its historic setting beside the loch, steeped in royal and literary associations, gives the round a distinctive sense of place close to the city centre.
