Visitor Booking & Green Fees

History

Gifford Golf Course was opened in 1904 on land gifted to the parish by the 11th Marquis of Tweeddale; it was designed by Willie Wyatt of Royal Epsom. The course has benefited from the fact that during the first 100 years the club had only four head green keepers, indicative of their love for the course.

Subtle improvements are carried out annually and this can be seen in the recently renovated tees and bunkers throughout the course.

The Course & Clubhouse

Surrounded by mature woodland, views of the Lammermuir Hills, a fast flowing burn and a haven for wildlife where you can regularly see hare, deer, owls and pheasant the course is a quite relaxed oasis which transforms into the most magical place at dusk after a warm Summer day.

The clubhouse is relaxed and friendly where visitors and members can enjoy light snacks, hot and cold beverages including something a little stronger for those celebrating or commiserating their golf! With prior notice, the team can also serve freshly prepared meals for visiting groups and societies.
