Baberton Golf Club

Home of the first steel-shafted clubs in the world. In 1890, a group of influential residents of Colinton and Juniper Green had a nine hole course laid out at Torphin Hill where they played for two seasons. Four of the group, holidaying at Lundin Links, after the day's play retired to a local hostelry.

A short par 4 to get underway. A local rule (for the safety of our neighbours) prevents going for the green off the tee, the sensible play is a lay-up short of the fairway bunkers which will leave only a short approach. A par 5 that usually plays into the wind, making it only reachable in two for the longer hitters.

Baberton GC is pleased to welcome visitors back to our club. We welcome visitors of all ages, experience or ability, whether as an individual or visiting societies. We aim to provide a first class, affordable golf experience and a comfortable and relaxing clubhouse, with excellent catering and refreshments, so that you will feel that you have had a truly memorable day.

Our secluded new clubhouse, opened in 2013 by Sky Sports commentator and Baberton member, Ewen Murray, provides a warm welcoming atmosphere with freshly prepared meals, snacks and a comprehensive choice of beers, wines and spirits. With panoramic views of the course, it is an ideal place to relax after your round of golf.
