Baberton Golf Club

Played here for the 2nd time (both members of Swanston) and once again enjoyed the course despite some iffy weather. Pro shop experience very good. Super helpful and even lent us some mats as we’d forgotten ours and all so far so friendly.

It was only after we finished and wanted.a drink and some lunch in the clubhouse that we lost our faith. Main clubhouse entrance locked (on a Friday mid morning on a busy course!!?) and even though we buzzed TWICE no one answered or even came down to let us in. At least 2 people walked past us on the way to the loo/locker room and despite looking straight at us, didn’t let us in either.

We wanted to come in and spend money in your club and this is welcome we received. Funnily enough the last time we played we made to the bar and whilst waiting for lunch to arrive we’re politely given the third degree about how we had got in and who we were with. “..Who signed you in?..” We said we were visiting but felt very much under scrutiny as unfamiliar faces.

A very disappointing end to a nice mornings golf. And in case you were wondering…our lunch budget went to the Spylaw’s coffers in Colinton instead.

I played here recently, I arrived early for food and to experience clubhouse. It was excellent from the moment I arrived. I ordered a light snack and soft drink, food was at my table within 5 mins, fresh and tasty. The bar manager Tracy was super welcoming and attentative. Darren (pro) was really helpful, and even set my clubs up on the electric trolley I’d booked pre round. If your in Edinburgh visiting, or a local looking for a round or group booking, I’d highly recomend you experience the hospitality and welcome at Baberton Golf Course.

Apart from not being allowed to use Driver on the 1st tee this was great value for money, course in great condition, food afterwards was really nice and the Pro was very helpful

Only problem I’d say was the lack of rental equipment. Otherwise I realy enjoyed playing here. In great shape, friendly staff and just a positive experience.

It was an amazing course. Greens world class and staff went above and beyond.

One of the best courses I have played to date. Unbelievable value for money. You will not be disappointed.

Lovely parkland course which you can tell is a James Braid modified course. Despite it being quite short, it can be quite challenging due to the tight fairways. On the day there was a 20+ mph crosswind across most fairways, making tee shots very difficult. For a parkland course Baberton was in great condition, the greens were also quite fast, especially for a parkland course.

Would definitely come back for another round

Very fair layout with a good mix of holes, fairways were in great condition, greens were a tad slow but still good for March time. Off course amenities looked great and members were friendly

Very interesting course and I will be going back when the winter winds have subsided. My rather good tee shot on the first started to draw nicely onto the deceptively difficult fairway, then a very strong cross wind won out and carried it gracefully into the trees. I didn't get going until the third hole (the second was a par five INTO that wind!) but got into my stride nicely. The layout is really interesting, the greens were in good condition considering the awful weather of late and I will definitely be going back when things have settled down and warmed up.

This is lovely course, every hole is different, greens were super, well worth a visit!

There was a weather forecast of heavy rain and lightning for the later part of our round, the professional shop allowed us to move our tee time to an earlier slot and we missed the worst of the weather.

The greens are very tricky with straight putts quite rare with most requiring both line and pace to be accurate, so I'd advise any visitors to spend an extra bit of time on each putt.

Even though it was the worst rain I had seen all year the course made up for it. I've played some nice courses and on a nice day this might just be one of my favourites! Staff are super friendly and helpful.
