What makes a golf package in Edinburgh so special?

Scotland's most easily accessible golfing region
Edinburgh airport provides ideal international access for golf travelers to this spectacular region. Very rarely is such a high concentration of championship links courses so close to a major city, making daily commutes very possible if the allure of Scotland's capital is too great.
A short drive east of Edinburgh, and in the heart of this stunning coastline, are the two golfing towns of Gullane and North Berwick. Both are quaint and historic seaside towns with great local pubs, restaurants and accommodation options. Aberlady is a smaller village nearby with the Ducks Inn being popular with golfers.
With it's close proximity to Edinburgh and concentration of quality championship links courses, East Lothian is a wonderful golf destination. I guess that's why they call it Scotland's Golf Coast.

Find the perfect base in Edinburgh & East Lothian
As you would expect with any capital city, the accommodation selection in Edinburgh is extensive, from boutique B&Bs to luxurious five-star hotels. Hotel Du Vin is perfectly located and a real favorite with Golfbreaks by PGA TOUR clients. Once a poorhouse, then an asylum, then a science lab, and now a stunning luxury hotel, the building has taken many guises since its inception in 1743. Alternatively, the Jurys Inn and Malmaison are also great options.
Along the stunning coastline and closer to all the links courses, we have a range of excellent choices, with Greywalls Hotel on the edge of Muirfield Golf Club and Marine Hotel & Spa in North Berwick being our higher-end properties. Nether Abbey, the Ducks Inn, and No.12 Hotel & Bistro all provide great three-star options oozing character and local charm.
