How far do you live from your golf club

[wrighty1874]

Five and half miles.

Small world isn't it!!?

Spent 20 odd years living there, like you say a selection of courses from Musselburgh all the way down the coast to Dunbar within 15/20 minutes drive

I think Mrs Hogan was well taken by Haddington...and our friends house as we could afford the same.

Having only visited Haddington a couple of times many, many years ago when I was very little (to visit family friends who moved there from Mount Florida in the mid 60s) I was rather taken by it also - and the proximity to all those east Lothian links courses - well...

My garden backs onto the 6th green at my club (Bishopswood), with only a small copse in-between.

Like Haddington too. Good few pints in the Tyneside Tavern. Sort of place I'd love to live in if I ever decided to move to Scotland. Whole area has a lovely feel to it. If the golf course is half decent then that would be perfect

14.1 Miles away, typically takes me 18-25 mins via car. There are nearer courses though ones a little 9 hole, the other a bit too expensive and up its own backside for my liking.

I'm sure the local course is fine but why would you??? all the courses mentioned 20 mins away.

Kilspindie, Gullane, North Berwick, Dunbar, .... Muirfield etc etc and thats the closer ones

It's a question at a bit of a tangent - but if you were to be visiting Edinburgh would you rent somewhere in likes of Haddington for easy access to all the great courses - or centre of city.

We could buy in city centre or likes of Haddington. City centre great rental opportunity for Festival Goers; Haddington - possibly great rental opportunity for golfers and close to City.

TBH I'd buy in North Berwick. Has the train line into Edinburgh for rental (holiday makers, festival goers and golfers), absolutely beautiful town and is right in among the golf courses (with the West Links of course in walking distance).....

Haddington is nice but I'd probably prefer Longniddry or North Berwick due to the train line :thup:

Will have a look at both then

 

[S17er]

20 mins walk. Under 5 mins in the car.

Also have 2 other courses and a driving range within same distance.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

I wonder if I'm in the unique position on here for having 3 courses all equidistant from my house.

You’re not! I live in the middle of the 3W’s. West Hill where I play is a pitching wedge away, which makes a few holes on a sunny summer evening so easy. I consider myself extraordinarily lucky.

 

[Bigfoot]

1. 7 miles and 15 mins
2. 12 miles and 27 mins
3. 592 miles and 11 hrs 13 mins at best to drive but have done it in less when not driving.

About 10 miles but there’s a nice club quarter of a mile from my house. I moved recently. Trouble is I like my club and I think it’s quieter, so easier to roll up and get a game. I can’t decide what to do as I’d rather be playing than driving.

I was very keen on a move to North Berwick but Mrs FD saw right though me and vetoed the plan! :rofl:

 

[srixon 1]

5 mins from home and about the same from work. 20 min walk home or a bit longer after a few scoops of Tribute.

According to Maps I’m 858miles from the course, makes it really difficult to get there for the 8am Swindle on a Saturday morning
