Glencorse Golf Club was voted a hidden Scottish hidden gem by Sports Illustrated. It's not hard to see why: Founded in 1890, the club was designed by Willie Park and claims top golfers as members. Among them are the former Walker Cup Captain George Macgregor and the former Ryder Cup Captain Bernard Gallagher.

Glencorse Golf Club offers 18 holes and 5,217 yards of parkland golf that, even with eight par 3s, provides a hearty challenge: Only one hole of this octet measures less than 200 yards. The golf course provides a solid day for golfers of all levels.

As a bonus for golf tourists who are also regular tourists, Glencorse Golf Club sits nine miles from Edinburgh Castle and the city center, and a mile from Rosslyn Chapel, featured in "The Da Vinci Code."

Beautiful hidden gem

This is a beautiful course, and quite different from anything else I've played in the area. Some gorgeous holes with fun topology tucked away in valleys among the pines.

Great condition when I played.

Good Challenge

The course was in good condition despite some heavy rain recently. Challenging opening drive requiring a good hit to carry a stream. Par 64 which sounds easy but there are 8 par 3s, 7 of them over 200 yds. This is no walk in the park; it’s a true test of golf. Several interesting holes. A bit hilly in places. Very welcoming Pro Shop and Clubhouse.

This was our third visit. I’m sure we will be back.

Really enjoyed this course

Really enjoyed playing this course even with some long par 3 holes. Course was in great condition. It’s got a few quirky holes with big elevation changes that were fun to play for the first time. There were some practice nets tucked away around the side of the clubhouse which I missed. Stayed behind afterwards for some food and drink which was good and well priced. Everyone we met at the club was nice and polite. A very good day out.

Great short course

Lots of interesting par 3s made for a fun round. Very good value for money and course in good condition for early November. Views on the 18th tee were great. I'll look out for rounds at glencorse on golfnow in the future!

Short course with some fantastic holes.

Value for money but not a course for the big hitters. Skill and accuracy required. Some of the holes were visually attractive.
