About
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.

Little Gem
What a find, amazing little course, beautiful scenery, lovely lunch and welcome. Well worth a visit
Cracking little course
For a 9 hole course this is well lated out and is a great course to play. The staff in the clubhouse are 1st class and I'd highly recommend having some food after a round of golf
For an inland course has similarities to a links course with
For a nine hole course it was very good and better than expected most enjoyable
Lovely little gem
Played her due to being let down by the condition of another course . It was a lovely little course with some fantastic holes all very different . Staff were so accommodating ,food lovely and the weather stayed dry for us . Will definitely play here again
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.
Not too busy for a Sunday, with a decent pace of play.
First of the season
This course has lovely settings and quite a few challenging holes. Pathways and fairways are well maintained and the many small streams add to its beauty.club house and car park are kept in a good condition. I have only played the course two or three rimes as I am a visitor to peebles and thoroughly enjoyed ,keep up the good work .
Excellent experience
It was great not be held up on a cool day. We had a very good experience and will definitely be back
November golf
Fine nine hole course, friendly welcome when we arrived, The course has a nice layout and was in good condition, considering the amount of rain. During our round we noticed the greenkeeper sponging the greens of excess water. Good day out
Good course set in beautiful surroundings with lots of quirks
Good, well maintained, 9-hole golf course with friendly members and a good range of holes to test all levels. There are a couple of monster par 4’s and the country road running through the course adds to the drama on the tee! Great value for money round, will definitely make a return visit. Recommended
Great course
Fantastic challenging nine holes course. Not easy at all. Members were very friendly. Staff couldn’t do enough for us. A very welcoming course. Condition of the course was great. Greens were fantastic. Would definitely play it again and again
Beautiful tranquility in the valley
On a sunny day Innerleithen GC is a lovely nine hole golf course to be playing. The layout is interesting with a mixture of long and short holes. There are some interesting challenges no matter what length of hole you're playing. Unfortunately, on the day we played we got stuck behind some very slow players who weren't keen to let us play through.
Delightful
A delightful 9·holder set in a picturesque steep sided, wooded valley.
The 1st is a par three to a small green set just across a stream with out of bounds right...and so it continues with little hazards to catch stray shots, but plenty to reward the good ones. The par 5 6th is a great hole from an elevated tee with a stream running down the fairway and oob left · and a green just tucked away in a corner.
Very nice condition with plenty of fescue grass on the fairways for those tight lies we love to see when we play on the links.
I play a lot of golf courses and this is one I would definitely play again.

Played it 20 years ago
2nd time yesterday, exciting tight course.
Enough hazards to keep you alert.
Greens were good.
Well worth the money paid.
9 hole cracker.
Nestled in the valley at the back Innerleithen you will find this 9 hole course. I utilises it’s confined space really well. It is a challenging wee course in a lovely backdrop. Many of the holes have water in play from the wee streams that run through. Accurate drives and approach shots are a must as there is heavy ruff on quite a few holes. Really enjoyed our round and will definitely play here again.
Great little course
Played this course half a dozen times and I’ve always enjoyed it, it’s very flat apart from 2 or 3 tee boxes, great course, would definitely play again and recommend
Lovely Innerleithen
Great wee nine hole well looked after also a few challenges. I would recommend and I will be back
