App Description
The story of Golf in the West Calder District began in 1885 when the West Calder and Addiewell Golf Club was formed on ground at Burngrange Farm by a group of local merchants. Mr. Donald McPherson, publican, was the first Captain of the Club and Mr. D. Brown the first Secretary. The ground was leased to the Club free of charge by Young’s Oil Company Limited, whose Managing Director, Mr. John Fyfe, drove the first ball to inaugurate play. Play continued uninterrupted until 1928 when the Club had to vacate the course to make way for the Building of Burngrange Cottages.
Before golf was discontinued at Burngrange a Company was formed to promote the development of Harburn as a Sports Centre. In 1923 a group of professional gentlemen lead by Mr. A. Macdonald Fraser, supported by among others, Dr. H.R. Dodson and Mr. Henry Lessels registered the Harburn Golf Club Company Limited. They obtained a 21-year lease of land at the East Torphin Farm from Mr. John Storry the owner at that time and well known to West Calder folk. His nephew, Mr. Jack Storry, became proprietor of the land in 1946.
Situated 2 miles from West Calder our course can trace its origins back to 1925 and provides a peaceful, tranquil setting and challenging design. At 870 feet above sea level our parkland course is attractively situated on the northern slope of the Pentland Hills and is lined with varying species of trees. We boast a tremendous club spirit, have a lively social calendar and in Bistro19 an outstanding catering facility whose quality is recognised throughout the region.
