Golf courses in Kirkcudbrightshire

Kirkcudbrightshire, in the heart of Dumfries and Galloway, offers tranquil golf amid rolling farmland and a dramatic coastline. The region has attracted artists for generations - the light and landscape around Kirkcudbright inspired the Scottish Colourists - and provides a peaceful setting for golf.

Courses here serve the small towns of this rural region, offering relaxed golf far from the pressures of championship venues. The coastline provides links-style holes with sea views, while inland courses wind through pleasant parkland.

The terrain varies from coastal links to gentle parkland, with the region benefiting from the Gulf Stream's moderating influence. Kirkcudbrightshire is warmer and drier than much of Scotland - palm trees grow in some gardens. Golf here is unpretentious and welcoming, a chance to enjoy the game in beautiful, unspoiled surroundings.
