On the banks of the River Tweed, surrounded by the rolling Scottish Border hills, lies Peebles Golf Club. Around 20 miles south of Edinburgh and overlooking the town itself, Peebles is a picturesque parkland course. The golf club was founded in 1892, though the present day championship ‘kirklands’ course was constructed in 1934, the layout a Harry Colt design.

Measuring 6,100 yards, the par-70 course presents a challenge to golfers of all levels. Scores are generally made around the turn as the eight and ninth holes return you to the clubhouse, though visitors are warned to be cautious on a tough finishing stretch that requires imagination and craft.

H.R.H Prince Andrew officially opened the modern style clubhouse in 1998, and the bar and restaurant has since garnered a reputation for offering an excellent value menu throughout the season. The clubhouse also boasts a professional’s shop stocking the latest golf equipment and apparel, with a resident PGA professional on hand to offer expert tuition. A popular choice of destination for visitors far and wide, Peebles is only 40 minutes drive from the Edinburgh city centre, and just over an hour from Glasgow.
