The Braid Hills Golf Course has garnered attention for its remarkable combination of value, scenic beauty, and the authentic challenge of Scottish golfing according to recent reviews. Customers frequently express admiration for the course's excellent maintenance and stunning views of Edinburgh, with specific praise for its well-kept greens and the varied terrain. Noteworthy are the mentions of its affordability, particularly as a municipal course offering reasonable fees for the quality of the experience. However, the course is not without its criticism. The primary complaint came from a negative encounter with unruly dogs and inappropriate behavior from another player, which tarnishes the reputation of the course to some extent. Weather conditions appear to add to the challenge of the course, with mentions of rain, hail, and strong winds contributing to an altogether true Scottish golfing experience.
