Leith Rules Golf Society
The aim of the Society is to increase the recognition of Leith Links as the home of the earliest recorded rules of golf and one of the game's prominent early locations

Welcome to the Leith Rules Golf Society website

The first recorded rules of the game of golf were created by the golfers playing at Leith Links in 1744.

Leith is the famous port of Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, the "Home of Golf".

The Society seeks to ensure that this important milestone in the history of golf is appropriately recognised today.
