Edinburgh Sports Club

Edinburgh Sports Club sits at 7 Belford Place in EH4 3DH in Edinburgh’s West End, with three fully covered padel courts joining the established squash and tennis facilities.

The Stockbridge-edge location puts the venue a short brisk walk from Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle, making it the Scottish capital’s most centrally located padel club.

The courts

Three fully covered panoramic padel courts at the Belford Place site. Indoor LED lighting through evening play. Roofed for full weather protection. The covered build makes the venue one of Edinburgh’s most reliable indoor padel options for the wet Scottish climate.

Booking and access

Court hire bookable through Edinburgh Sports Club. Pay-and-play access alongside the wider Sports Club membership. The Belford Place setting puts the venue a short walk from Princes Street, Edinburgh Castle and the wider West End cultural scene. On-site parking and easy walking access to central Edinburgh’s main attractions.

Programme and social

The wider Edinburgh Sports Club brings the established squash and tennis programmes alongside the padel, with a clubhouse, bar and racquet-sports community that has anchored the club for decades.

Beginner intros, group lessons and 1-on-1 sessions through the in-house coaching team across all racquet sports. Group bookings handled directly. The central-city location attracts after-work players from across the West End and Old Town.

Best for

Edinburgh West End, Stockbridge, Old Town and central-city racquet-sports players who want padel inside an established club setting walking distance from Princes Street, racquet-sports families combining squash, tennis and padel sessions, and tourists combining padel with a Castle and Princes Street visit. Less suited to anyone wanting outdoor courts or the Edinburgh Park business-district setting.

Coaching at Edinburgh Sports Club runs through the in-house coaching team, with structured group lessons, beginner intros and 1-on-1 sessions across all skill levels. The combined squash, tennis and padel facility supports cross-discipline practice for racquet-sports players. Bookings handled directly through the club.
