One of Edinburgh’s most iconic boutique hotels and luxury apartments is getting into full swing with the launch of new golf breaks based in the Scottish capital this spring.
The four-star Rutland Hotel in Edinburgh’s vibrant West End has created the ultimate stay-and-play packages for golfers looking for a world-class experience within easy reach of three prestigious courses.
Located in the heart of Edinburgh city centre, The Rutland is easily accessible for a two or three-night golf break, including The Royal Burgess Golfing Society and Bruntsfield Links Golf Society in Edinburgh, as well as the championship course at Murrayshall located just an hour away in Perthshire.
Originally designed by the legendary Willie Park Jr, Royal Burgess is the oldest golfing society in the world and is undoubtedly one of the very best parkland courses in Scotland. Bruntsfield lays claim to being the fourth oldest club in the world with its 18-hole championship course weaving between Scot’s pines and offering stunning views of the Firth of Forth and over to Fife.
Mike Lewis, Venue Director for The Rutland, said: “Based in the heart of Edinburgh, The Rutland gives golfers the freedom to play world-class courses by day and enjoy one of Europe’s great cities by night – without long transfers, resort isolation, or inflated golf hotel pricing. You’re five minutes from the Old Town, a short drive from the country’s most iconic fairways, and firmly rooted in Scottish hospitality rather than a manufactured golf resort.
“Our handpicked golf packages combine outstanding courses with high-quality city-centre accommodation, so whether you’re a seasoned golfer or simply looking for a fun and memorable holiday, our golf new breaks offer exceptional value and a seamless Scottish experience.”
Craig Galloway, Operations manager at The Royal Burgess, added: “Our relationship with The Rutland Hotel enhances the Royal Burgess experience by offering our members and visiting golfers a premium, centrally located base that reflects the same tradition of quality and hospitality we uphold at the club. Together, we create a connected Edinburgh experience where exceptional accommodation and world‑class golf come seamlessly together.”
Optional enhancements include a golfers’ massage; private chauffeur service- airport transfers and travel to and from partner golf courses; as well as golf equipment storage and cleaning service.
Stay-and-play golf packages at The Rutland start from £295 per person, based on two nights’ B&B for two guests sharing a 2-bed apartment with one round of golf in low season.
