Harburn Golf Club

Harburn Golf Club offers a testing 18-hole parkland course amid a smattering of beech, oak and pine trees. The club first saw play way back in 1932 and still makes for a tough round of golf for every level of golfer. On any golf trip to West Lothian, Harburn is a good stop, as it is close to the village of West Calder, which sits just 14 miles west of Edinburgh - giving you a chance to get out of the city.

Harburn Golf Club's course, a par 71, measures 6,125 yards. Tee-off on Torphin, a 326-yard par 4, which features a somewhat blind drive - get it right, and you're a short-iron from the green, which is guarded by a pair of bunkers and slopes back to front.

Survive Harburn Golf Club's next 16 holes, including The Raids, the 516-yard Lang Whang and the mysterious 15th hole, named "?". Head home on Hame. The 344-yard par 4 features another semi-blind drive. A solid second gets you to a tiny green (featuring bunkers on three sides), with left-right undulations that make for one of the day's toughest putts, perhaps made tougher by the fact that you're in full view of the clubhouse gallery.
