We are a 9 hole golf course situated within 1.5 miles of the centre of Edinburgh, located in the heavily wooded area between Ravelston and Murrayfield.

The course at Barnton measures 6,511 yards (5931 metres) and has a par of 71. It is set in beautiful parkland just 6 miles from the City Centre and one of the features is the variety and positioning of many mature trees including a large number of specimen trees. The Course provides a rewarding challenge to golfers of all abilities. The Course is always maintained to the highest standards by the Greenkeeping team and is renowned for its smooth fast greens, lush, well manicured fairways and well positioned and designed bunkers.

Silverknowes Golf Club

Course Description

Silverknowes is a beautiful shore-front course with long, lush and expansive fairways, which provides a wonderful golfing experience for all abilities.

The course is easy to walk and provides a fairly gentle start with a tough finish which can be quite a test in a westerly wind. The fairways are generous but there are several well-placed bunkers to catch any wayward shot.

Enjoy the challenge of this parkland course with a combination of mature and new trees which help to define the holes and course boundaries and enhance the commanding view across the water to the Kingdom of Fife and Cramond Island.
