Golf courses in Dumfriesshire

Dumfriesshire is the land of Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet, who spent his final years in the town of Dumfries. The region offers pleasant parkland golf amid rolling farmland, river valleys, and the hills that rise towards the Southern Uplands.

Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club and courses around the county town provide quality golf in historic surroundings. The area has strong links to Burns - visitors can combine golf with exploring the poet's haunts in Dumfries and the surrounding countryside.

The terrain is predominantly parkland, with courses set in mature, well-established surroundings. The Nith Valley and surrounding hills provide attractive backdrops. Dumfriesshire enjoys a moderate climate, milder than much of Scotland thanks to its southern position and proximity to the Solway Firth. Golf is comfortable year-round, with spring through autumn offering the most pleasant conditions.
