Borders Golf Holidays and Breaks
Tweed-side parkland, heathered hills and a calm, great-value escape just south of Edinburgh.
Your Next Golf Break in the Borders: Tweed Valley Scenery & Quiet-Quality Golf
The Scottish Borders offer rolling hills, river-valley fairways and a peaceful pace — perfect for relaxed, great-value golf within easy reach of Edinburgh and Northumberland. Expect tree-lined parkland, heather-edged holes and big-sky views, plus charming towns like Peebles, Melrose and Kelso for unrushed evenings.
Base yourself around Peebles, Galashiels or Kelso for short transfers to a cluster of welcoming members’ clubs, riverside courses and a dramatic clifftop coastal option near the English border.
Why Book a Golf Holiday to the Borders?
- Playable, well-kept parkland and heath-style layouts across a compact radius — ideal for 2–3 round breaks
- Quiet tee sheets, friendly club culture and strong value compared with headline Scottish coasts
- Scenic settings along the Tweed and in rolling hill country; optional coastal day for sea-breeze golf
- Easy access via Edinburgh (A68/A7) and the A1 from the north or Newcastle from the south; Borders Railway to Tweedbank
- Stay choices include riverside hotels, countryside resorts and characterful inns in market towns
- Add abbeys, hill walks, cycling and country pubs for unhurried off-course time
- Flight-inclusive, ATOL-protected packages available on request

The Ultimate Guide to Golf Hotels in the Borders
- Market-town bases (Peebles, Melrose, Kelso) give walkable dinners and pubs with short morning transfers to multiple courses — a simple, low-stress setup.
- Countryside hotels and resort-style stays along the Tweed add on-site leisure, spa and spacious rooms — ideal for “arrive, unpack, relax” weekends.
- Typical layouts feature tree-framed fairways, gentle elevation changes and quick, true greens; some courses bring heath/downland touches and wide valley views.
- Build a balanced plan: one riverside parkland round, one hill-country/heath-style course, and (optionally) a clifftop coastal day. Par5 Escapes can tailor tee times, pacing and hotel style around your budget and group size.
