The clubhouse enjoys a prominent position overlooking the town from the west slopes of Blaikie's Hill. The land that the golf course and clubhouse occupy, known as Ladhope Recreation Ground, was donated to the people of Galashiels in 1912 by Mr Hugh Roberts. The first golf club was founded in 1884, disbanded in 1897 and reformed in 1912. The 18 hole course was designed by James Braid. The present clubhouse was upgraded and extended in the late 1960's and within recent years, has been extended to the rear to upgrade the changing room facilities.
