Course information

Peebles lies just over 20 miles south of Edinburgh, on the banks of the river Tweed, in the midst of the Scottish Border hills.

The town is an ancient Royal Burgh favoured by Scots kings. It is a peaceful place, ideal for walking, fishing and golfing. Peebles Golf Club was founded in 1892 although the present course was first opened in 1908. The original course on the SW boundary of the town can still be seen, in outline, for those interested in golfing history. The present Kirklands course (6,138 yards, par 70) was remodelled in 1933/34 by Harry Colt, designer of, among many great courses, Wentworth, the New course at Sunningdale, Stoke Poges, the Eden Course at St. Andrews, Royal Portrush, some holes at Hoylake and Pine Valley, Philadelphia.

Peebles is a championship course, having played host in the past to the Scottish Girls Strokeplay Championship, and Scottish Boys Team Championship; and in 2006 hosted the Scottish Girls Amateur Championship. In June 2010 we shall host the Scottish Boys Area Team Championship

Golf World Expert Review

Peebles starts with a par 3 and then the next three holes go straight up the hill, offering fantastic views over the town and surrounding countryside. Thankfully, the course then flattens out and is a pleasant parkland layout with some good holes, especially near the end. The 16th, a wickedly tricky par 3, sticks in the mind, with a deep bunker on the right and out-of-bounds on the left.
