Speaking about opening the venue in Edinburgh they said: "The main attraction, our two spectacular holes Bobby and Scott, took months to design and build to get them just right. These are major landmarks, so it was important that we took our time and did them justice.

"In keeping with the style of the Biscuit Factory and The Pitt Market, the venue is pretty industrial with lots of rustic charm. Think picnic benches, exposed brick walls and plenty of fairy lights.

"We have been blown away by the reception so far and have limited spaces left for March. April has just gone on sale, so be quick!

"We love Edinburgh and of course we would love to make it our second home with a permanent venue, but you'll have to wait and see. Watch this space, as they say."

How can tickets be booked and how much do they cost?

Entry into the venue is free, while a round of golf will be priced at £9.50 (peak) / £8.00 (off-peak) per person. Tickets can be purchased HERE
