Baberton

Overview: Set in the south-western suburbs of Edinburgh, Baberton Golf Club is a premier 18-hole parkland-moorland layout originally designed by Willie Park Jr. and later reconstructed by the legendary James Braid. The course is a par 70, measuring approximately 6,100 yards, and is celebrated for its undulating fairways, significant elevation changes, and spectacular views across the city toward the Pentland Hills and the Fife coast. Baberton provides a robust and technical test of golf, featuring firm greens and Braid’s trademark strategic bunkering that punishes errant approaches.

Did You Know? The club is historically significant for its association with the invention of the modern steel-shafted golf club, a revolutionary innovation that fundamentally changed the trajectory of global sporting equipment manufacturing in the early 20th century.
