Swing into summer at an Edinburgh golf course

Edinburgh Leisure invites locals and visitors alike to 'Swing into Summer' with a new campaign celebrating the city's six diverse golf courses and an exhibition showcasing Edinburgh's rich golfing heritage. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or a beginner, Edinburgh Leisure offers a way to start with a choice of six scenic courses in the city. With both nine and 18 hole options, flexible memberships, and pay-as-you-play access, there's something for everyone. The 'Swing into Summer' campaign highlights the sport's accessibility, sociability, and health benefits—especially for retirees, young professionals, and casual players looking for a relaxing way to stay active. It also positions Edinburgh Leisure as the ideal launchpad for summer golf adventures, including the prestigious Scottish Open in North Berwick this July.

There will also be an opportunity to visit the exhibition from 9–15 July at St James Quarter, next to Mhor Bakery on Leith Street, where it will be on display as part of Edinburgh Leisure's contribution to Edinburgh 900. This free exhibition explores Edinburgh's pivotal role in the history of golf, showcases the stories behind Edinburgh Leisure's six courses, and celebrates iconic local tournaments like the Dispatch Trophy and Gibson Cup. Visitors can also view rare photographs and memorabilia from the Braid Hills and Silverknowes collections, made possible by the Sporting Heritage Grants Programme and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which will be on display again at Silverknowes from the beginning of July.
