Love Golf? It pays to play

** Unlimited monthly winter-golf for just £22.50 per month **

For die hard golf fans or even those new to the game who want to keep in the swing of it during the winter, Edinburgh Leisure’s winter golf membership could be just the deal.

It pays to play, with the membership costing just £22.50 per month, compared up to £27.50 that you would pay as a pay-as-you-go customer. So buying a winter golf membership and playing more than once, will mean a saving worth having.

Ken Harvey, Head of Operations at Edinburgh Leisure said: “Golf at Edinburgh Leisure has experienced a resurgence after COVID-19 restrictions were lifted at the beginning of June and it’s been great to see regulars back on our fairways and also new players taking up the game or players returning to the game after dusting off their clubs.

“With minimal use of winter greens and no mats, it’s the ideal opportunity to keep your golf on par until the summer returns.  The beauty of Edinburgh Leisure’s winter golf membership is that you won’t have to rely on playing just one course.

“Our membership gives you the flexibility and variety to experience up to six different courses in unique locations across the city. So wrap up warm, fill your thermos, grab your clubs and improve your game and your mental health with a round of golf!  In fact, playing just once a month, will see your membership pay for itself.”

The winter pass is valid from 1 October 2020 – 31 March 2021 and allows access to Edinburgh Leisure’s six golf courses*.

Edinburgh Leisure’s 18-hole courses include Braid Hills, Carrick Knowe, Craigentinny, and Silverknowes.  For a quicker challenge, Edinburgh Leisure also have two popular 9-hole courses – Portobello and the Wee Braids.

From December to February, the Wee Braids closes and some of its holes are incorporated into the main Braid Hills course.

Payable monthly by direct debit until March 2021, different membership options are available including access to all the courses, seven days-a-week, and a five-day membership with access to all courses, Monday to Friday. 

The membership also gives 20% off other Edinburgh Leisure activities including the gym, swimming, racquet sports and climbing, at the various Edinburgh Leisure venues across the city – so it pays to play. 

Edinburgh Leisure has introduced rules and measures to ensure golfers can play in an environment that is safe for both customers and staff. 

Some things have changed but customers will still be guaranteed the warm Edinburgh Leisure welcome:

  • It is now necessary for all tee times to be booked and paid for in advance. Customers can no longer turn up to play.
  • Each player must be played for separately. The booking system lets the golfer and any guests to pay separately for their round.
  • Edinburgh Leisure members and cardholders can book a tee time from 9 pm, 8 days in advance. Non-members can still book a tee-time but will need to create an account with Edinburgh Leisure before they can book.  They will then be able to book from 9 pm, 7 days in advance. 
  • Under the current guidelines, only four-balls social golf can be played.
  • No changing rooms will be available so golfers are advised to change into their shoes and any outdoor wear whilst at their car and then proceed straight to the starters’ office/area.
