In 1856 when the Portobello Golf Club came into being they had no course of their own. The members played their golf at Leith and Musselburgh.
The club eventually acquired land at Quarry Bank, Brighton Place, and played their casual day to day golf there but still playing competitions at Leith and Musselburgh. Interest waned on this early course and golf there went into abeyance.
Portobello golfers got together again in the early 1880s and golf was eventually restarted.
