Golf Resort Stays Near Bruntsfield Links
Bruntsfield Links is a historic public golf green in the south of Edinburgh, a short way from the Old Town. It is not a resort, so the golf resort label here describes city hotels, guesthouses and aparthotels that make a base for golfers who want Edinburgh around the game. I compare them by rating, restaurant, kitchen and location, using only what each property lists, and I leave current rates to the booking page. Some sit directly opposite the Links, others a short walk from the Royal Mile and Grassmarket, and a few are budget hostels for golf societies.

City Hotels Beside the Historic Links
This is a city base, not a resort stay. The strongest case is location: JA The Bruntsfield Edinburgh sits directly opposite the Links, Castle Park Guest House lists a walk to them, and Black Ivy lists a short walk from Whitehouse Loan. Beyond that the choice is about style, from the 5-star Virgin Hotels Edinburgh to simple guesthouses.
For the shortest walk to the Links, start with JA The Bruntsfield Edinburgh, a 4-star hotel in a Victorian building with a bar and restaurant, positioned directly opposite Bruntsfield Links and rated 8.4 from 1,036 reviews. Castle Park Guest House, a 4-star Victorian guesthouse rated 9.6 from 224 reviews, lists free Wi-Fi in all rooms and a walk to the Links. Black Ivy, rated 9 from 2,167 reviews, lists a restaurant, a sports bar, room service and a short walk from Whitehouse Loan. Black Ivy is the one to look at if a room-service dinner after the round matters.
If you want the Old Town close by, the options are strong. Virgin Hotels Edinburgh, a 5-star hotel rated 9.2 from 972 reviews, lists two bar and restaurants, live entertainment, a fitness center and a short walk to the Royal Mile. The Witchery, the most reviewed hotel on this page with 4,039 reviews and a rating of 8.6, lists individually designed suites above a landmark restaurant, with complimentary breakfast. Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket, rated 9.4, lists apartments with kitchens and some castle views. Virgin Hotels Edinburgh also lists pet-friendly options, as does The Witchery, which helps if you travel with a dog.
For a straightforward base with a pool or good public transport, a few hotels fit. Novotel Edinburgh Centre, rated 8.6 from 3,819 reviews, lists an indoor pool, a hot tub, a fitness center and a restaurant and bar. Point A Hotel Edinburgh, Haymarket lists streamlined rooms, a lounge and bar and proximity to public transport, and Premier Inn Edinburgh Central (Lauriston Place) lists en suite family rooms, an on-site pub and restaurant, free Wi-Fi and parking. Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh City lists modern rooms for up to four guests. Novotel and Premier Inn are the easiest to compare, since both list a restaurant or pub on site.
Golf societies and budget travelers have real choices too. Castle Rock Hostel, rated 9.4 from 3,120 reviews, lists a 19th-century house, a guest kitchen and an ornate lounge, while Kick Ass Greyfriars lists rooms and dorms, a bar and a VW Camper-themed cafe. Averon Guest House, rated 8.6, lists a Georgian house, a garden, free parking and complimentary breakfast, and Braveheart Guest House, rated 7.8, lists an 18th-century townhouse with views towards Edinburgh Castle. Castle Park Guest House and Braveheart Guest House also list breakfast, and Kick Ass Greyfriars and Braveheart are both listed as smoke-free.
Bruntsfield is a residential Edinburgh neighbourhood beside the Links, a short distance from the Old Town. Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and the Grassmarket are the sights around it, and the mix of Victorian and Georgian buildings gives the area its character.
A traveler's takeI would choose JA The Bruntsfield Edinburgh for a golfer who wants to walk across to the Links, and Virgin Hotels Edinburgh for a couple who want the Royal Mile and a lively bar close after the round. For a golf society on a budget, I would look at Castle Rock Hostel first, since it pairs a 9.4 rating with a guest kitchen.
