I have lived in and around Edinburgh all my life and believe it or not, I'd not played Craigentinny Golf Course in all that time. Last night I played there in a fun Texas Scramble organised by the company I work for. We had over 50 folks taking part in teams of 4. A good fun format for a summers evening.
The course was in excellent condition, in fact, we were all surprised how well it had handled over2" of rain the previous day. The fairways were generous, as you would expect on a municipal course, they were also well covered with grass which made playing irons or fairway woods an easy task. The greens were true and although a little slower than I'm used to, they were good to putt on. I holed a few clutch putts over the evening.
After we had completed our round we adjourned to the attached Lochend Golf Club for a libation and the prize giving. We had obviously been too truthful about our handicaps as we came well down the order. A good night had by all on a nice well kept course. If you're in the area it's well worth a look.
