Charity Golf Day – Duddingston GC
16th May 2024
Capital City Golf
Join us at our Duddingston Charity Golf Day – on one of the most outstanding parkland courses in the Lothians and Scotland. Within the capital, and beneath the spectacular backdrop of Arthur’s Seat, you will find one of Scotland’s most outstanding parkland courses.
Duddingston Golf
Situated within minutes of Edinburgh’s busy city centre, this tranquil setting has been home to Duddingston Golf Club since 1895 – a course with rich history and known for its challenging design and sweeping fairways. Set in delightful surroundings, the Braid Burn is a key feature, which meanders throughout the course, coming into play on no fewer than 14 of the 18 holes, always sitting in wait to grab that errant shot!
The clubhouse offers first class facilities with a wonderful welcoming staff who cater for all your needs. The award-winning chefs add to the culinary experience. They look forward to welcoming you on the day.
the Army Benevolent Fund would like to welcome you for a fun charity golf competition at one of the most outstanding parkland courses in Scotland.
