What the club says: The course was initially laid out by Willie Park Jnr., a two-times Open Champion, and later reconstructed by James Braid. As a result Baberton is a challenging and beautiful layout on undulating terrain

Reviewed Sep 8 2019 by Graham H - rated 4 out of 5 One of those "must play" courses in Edinburgh
A surprisingly great club for a small mill village on the edge of Edinburgh. Friendly with a modern clubhouse and full of initiatives to move the club forward make it a pleasant environment to play a round and relax. Good practice area allows for warm up before play and when you get to the course it keeps pace with the club including a short children's tee for early teens and younger. At around 6,000 yards it does not seem too onerous a course for the mid-handicapper, yet given uphill slopes and a prevailing wind this is more a 6,600 Yd level layout with enough of a test for scratch players while allowing a little slack for new players. Turf was in good order, Greens running true and moderately quick.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Oct 9 2013 by Alan W - rated 4 out of 5 Baberton is well worth a visit. Unfortunately when our group played the greens had just been cored and sanded, so putting was a bit hit or miss. The course is currently going through a lot of change (October 2013) with some temporary tees and a temporary green on the 18th fairway. Despite this it was a most enjoyable experience. A new clubhouse has been built and the food served was top quality. Pleanty of parking spaces.

Reviewed Sep 17 2013 by Andy W - rated 4 out of 5 Can be very windy on opening holes. A course to be managed, use driver sparingly.
Greens are some of the best I've played and with the new layout starting to come together with the new club house I think this course will be well up there in the not too distant future!
