Our local course which provides panoramic views over the Galloway Hills and the Dee Estuary. This parkland course provides and excellent challenge for golfers at all levels. Course has a few cross fairways and can be heavy if the rains come. Very warm welcome from the clubhouse staff. Buggies available.
Dumfries and County
Dumfries & County course My rating 9/10
18 HOLES PAR 69 5928 YARDS
DISTANCE FROM HOTEL: 35 miles
A parkland course situated on the outskirts of the town of Dumfries. Bordered on one side by the river Nith, it offers spectacular views of the Nith valley and surrounding countryside. The USGA standard greens are almost the best in the area. Built on eighty-nine acres, it requires a high degree of course management to achieve a par of 69. Delighted myself with an eagle 2 on the first, downhill after that sad to say. Handy course to play either en route to the hotel or on the way home if travelling from the M6 or M74.
