The Musselburgh Golf Club offers a great day of Midlothian golf for players who want a challenging game played on holes with interesting names, such the as the third ("Whins"), the ninth ("Burn"), and the 16th ("Fiery").
Kick things off on the Musselburgh Golf Club's first hole, "Willows," a 377-yard par-4 treat that sets the model for the rest of the day. The monster hole is the fourth, "Signal Box," which is a 528-yard par 5. Close out the game on the 474-yard par-4 18th: "Old Bob."
Head to the clubhouse to retrace the beginning and end, with its view of the first and 18th fairways. For those wishing to stay later into the evening, there are two well stocked bars

I Recommend This Course
A good walk, don't ruin it.
I found that the course is used mainly by the members, which is good, the only problem that a visitor or novice would incur is the speed of play and the members are not forgiving. I played on a hot summers day and enjoyed it immensely, a threesome took 3 1/2hrs, 2 in a buggy and 1 walking.
