Royal Burgess is the world's oldest golf club, now occupying a mature parkland course at Barnton designed by Tom Morris and Willie Park Jr., later refined by James Braid. Tree-lined fairways, fast greens and strategic bunkering create a challenging layout that has hosted major professional and amateur championships since 1956.
