Frederick Douglass - Rooms In the City
A city base for Edinburgh golf, close to links and city life
About this hotel
Golfers basing themselves at Frederick Douglass - Rooms In the City find themselves well-positioned for Edinburgh's golf offerings. While not a resort with on-site courses, its city location allows for straightforward access to various links courses in and around the capital. After a round, the proximity to local dining, such as Sofia's Lounge, offers a convenient spot for post-game discussions. The accommodation provides a practical and unpretentious setting, perfect for those who prioritize golf on different courses each day and enjoy exploring the city's vibrant atmosphere in the evenings. The ease of reaching Edinburgh Castle and Port Hamilton adds to the appeal for non-golfing companions or rest days. The true value lies in its strategic urban placement, making diverse golf experiences and city exploration equally accessible.

Our take
This city accommodation is best suited for golf societies or couples who prefer to play different courses daily and appreciate a central base for city exploration. It offers a practical, no-frills stay, focusing on convenience rather than extensive on-site amenities. Those seeking a full-service golf resort with direct course access and extensive leisure facilities should consider alternatives outside the city centre.
- Book your tee times well in advance, especially for popular links courses, as this city base requires short transfers.
- Consider public transport for airport transfers to avoid city traffic, particularly during peak season.
- Explore the local dining scene around Port Hamilton for authentic Scottish cuisine after your rounds.
