Frequently Asked Questions

Is Innerleithen Golf Club a good choice for a quick round or beginners?

Absolutely, it's perfect for a relaxed 9-hole outing or for those new to the game. The course offers a gentle challenge, but don't mistake its brevity for lack of character - you'll find some tricky lies and elevation changes that keep things interesting.

What's the course like at Innerleithen - is it a typical Scottish links experience?

Forget the linksland; Innerleithen is a charming upland course, offering stunning views over the Tweed Valley. You'll play through a mix of parkland and moorland, with the rolling terrain providing a distinctly Scottish Borders feel, far from the coastal winds.

When is the best time to play Innerleithen Golf Club, and what should I expect from the course conditions?

We recommend visiting in late spring or early autumn for the best conditions and vibrant scenery. The course drains reasonably well, but expect some softer spots after heavy rain, especially on the higher ground; the greens are generally well-maintained and true.

How much does a round at Innerleithen typically cost, and is it good value?

Innerleithen offers excellent value, especially compared to some of Scotland's more famous courses. You'll find the green fees very reasonable, making it an accessible option for a quality round without breaking the bank.

Are there any particularly memorable or challenging holes at Innerleithen Golf Club?

The 3rd hole, a tricky uphill par 3, is a real test of club selection, often playing longer than its yardage suggests. We also love the panoramic views from the 6th tee, which makes the approach shot even more enjoyable, despite the potential for a wayward drive.
