Holes 9
Type
Par 70
Length 5950 yards
Slope 121
Rating 68.5

A nine-hole run located 32 miles south of Edinburgh in the Scottish Borders, Innerleithen Golf Course is set in the scenic valley of the river Leithen. Playing to 3,033 yards, Innerleithen is the perfect walking course, where a golfer can enjoy his favorite game in one of Scotland's most scenic locales.

The starting hole will immediately showcase the challenge that Innerleithen presents. A par 3 with the green surrounded on three sides with water, accuracy is a must, as it is throughout the entire course. The well-maintained greens and fairways will entice golfers of all levels, but those looking to mark down a low score will need to keep the ball in the fairway and be tidy with their approach shots. The course also includes the challenging No. 5 hole, which is a par 3 with an elevated green and will have you shooting over a road. Also, long hitters will be able to let fly with their drivers on the No. 8 hole, a 524-yard par 5.

With a stream coming into play on six holes, golfers will be challenged to avoid losing any golf balls as they'll have to also battle the incredible scenic qualities of Innerleithen, which will captivate both a player's game, and imagination. At at just £20 per round, players will get more for their money at Innerleithen Golf Club than at perhaps any other club in the prodigious Scottish Borders golf
region.

A Hidden Gem

Innerleithen is a quirky 9 hole course which has a good variety of holes and is very enjoyable to play. The course was in excellent condition and the greens were as good as you'll find on courses at 4 times the price. Well done to the green keepers. We arrived an hour prior to our tee time and were looking forward to a bacon buttie. Unfortunately we were disappointed and, despite signs advertising snacks and coffees it appears that they are only served on a Saturday. As we played on a Sunday we were a day late!! On arrival we were met by a very helpful committee member who took time to explain the course layout. The only negative downside was that I got a ticking off by a member for playing off the white tees. This is an outdated policy and, if you are a low handicap golfer visiting the course you want to play the course at its full length.

Well worth a drive!

A very picturesque course with views of Lee Pen. In spite of the recent wet weather, both greens and fairways were in excellent condition due to great natural drainage. There were some great holes with elevated tees with some nice quirks and a couple of tricky bunkers, making what would otherwise be quite a flat course, interesting to play. Staff and patrons were extremely friendly and welcoming to guests. The course was well-laid out, meaning you’re never too far from the clubhouse, which was open for food until 3pm (winter visit). One or two extra signs would have been nice to help you find your way, but after the front 9 you get used to the layout. I would highly recommended this course to both beginners and seasoned golfers.

Really nice little 9 hole course

Would agree with a lot of commentary on here. In great condition, the guy who booked us in was fantastic. Some tough holes mixed with more forgiving ones. Maybe not your course if you play off single figures but for the average golfer, it's a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon for a very reasonable price.

Great wee track

Lovely 9 hole course 15 minute drive from peebles. Mainly flat with some clever use of elevated tees.
Only negative comment would be difficult to find anyone to speak to when arrived .

Worth a visit

Played as a rwo ball at 11.00am. Very warm and helpful welcome from club steward. Wonderful setting with great scenery. Course is great fun with some challenging holes and a tricky stream coming into play. A road passes through course and is busy with mountain bikers. Course condition pretty good and would not hesitate to recommend and play again. Good value. Excellent refreshments on offer.

Great wee course

Had a good round of golf at this quirky 9 hole course. Most of the holes have a bit of character and as such stay in the memory. Greens still have to come on a bit, but that can be expected this early in the season. Great value too.

Hidden gem

We played this as part of the hole way round.
A fantastic wee hidden gem, in amongst the hills. A few challenging holes and a lot of thinking to be done on the tees. But the condition was fantastic.

Quirky Course

9 holes set in fantastic location, with stunning views.

Very friendly staff, and well looked after course. Went round twice to achieve 18 holes.
