Golf courses in Wigtownshire

Wigtownshire occupies the southwestern tip of Scotland, a peninsula known as the Rhins of Galloway where palm trees flourish in the mild Gulf Stream climate. The region offers golf in surprising surroundings - this corner of Scotland feels almost Mediterranean on a fine day.

Stranraer and Portpatrick provide the main golfing options, with Portpatrick Dunskey offering particularly dramatic clifftop holes overlooking the Irish Sea. On clear days, the coast of Northern Ireland is visible across the water.

The terrain combines exposed coastal holes with more sheltered parkland sections. The Gulf Stream ensures mild winters and temperate summers, making this one of Scotland's most comfortable regions for year-round golf. Wigtownshire remains wonderfully uncrowded - a place to enjoy good golf and spectacular coastal scenery without the bustle of busier destinations.
