The Golf Course
In 2018 Bruntsfield Links was re-developed by the highly acclaimed golf course architects Mackenzie & Ebert to produce a new Par 71 layout of 6,466 yards.
The course was initially designed by Willie Park Jnr, one of the founders of golf course architecture. Subsequent revisions by Dr Alister MacKenzie in 1922, James Braid in 1930 and Fred Hawtree between 1974 have created a challenging layout of 6,466 yards (Par 71), that meanders between mature trees. The course is characterised by well placed bunkers, mature trees lining the beautifully manicured fairways and undulating greens full of character and deceptive slopes. Extensive practice facilities are also available to both members and visitors. An ongoing programme of green reconstruction to USGA specification has improved both consistency and speed, and with many subtle borrows, a good score at Bruntsfield is always well earned.
The previous course record of 63 was set by Charlie Simpson in 2009, and equalled later that year by David Donaldson, both rounds took place in Society competitions. Over the new layout Stuart McLaren created a new layout course record of 63 in 2018 and Eric McIntosh matched this in 2020.
