Originally an 18 hole course, established in 1884 and designed by James Braid around the Ladhope Burn, the original layout was re-designed in 2008 with the current 9-hole layout being played since. With a competitive course rating of 67 from the medal tees, (slope 114), this 5,400 yard track has 16 individual tees that present a thought on how to play every hole.
Don't let the short yardage fool you. This place will test the best of golfers, but is also very fair to the higher handicap. The undulating course provides many options to make a score on each and every hole. The aerial route isn't always necessary, or even advised. With all year round play on the greens, visitors are always welcome, even on competition days, when the unique Ladhope hospitality will take your breath away.

Uphill tee and second shot to a slightly sloping green, with long rough waiting on both sides for any wayward shot. It's a good walk up this hole, but the views alone are worth it! Slight right to left dogleg, blind par three with long rough to the right, out of bounds to the left, bunker to catch slightly left attempts.
Galashiels Golf Club was originally designed by James Braid and many of his design features still remain. Including the course's signature Par 5 4th hole, termed 'Braid's Delight'. His legacy of course design still resonates around the world today.
