It’s a big year for golf in Scotland, with the 150th Open Championship set to be played in St Andrews in July and amateur players now free of Covid restictions for the first time in nearly two years.
We all know that golf isn't the cheapest of sports but there are bargains to be had when courses and clubs offer unused tea times at a discount.
Here are 11 courses near Edinburgh that offer the chance to tee off for less than £30.
Many of the best deals can be had at short notice, or by snagging a late ‘twilight’ start time.
