Our course is kept in excellent condition all year round

Hole 1 – Errington’s View 

A tricky par 4 to begin your round. Tee to green is all uphill, with out of bounds down the right-hand side. Combined with a left sided fairway bunker, a pinpoint tee shot is required to have any chance of birdie. A hole most golfers will be happy to walk away with their par. 

Hole 2 – Marchbanks View 

The highest point of the course allows a perfect view across Dumfries from the tee. The undulating fairway slopes from right to left, with dreaded out of bounds down the whole right side. A tee shot down the left side of the fairway, allows an easier approach shot into the tight, right to left sloping green. A hole which can destroy many a round of golf, a par is a very good score!

Hole 3 – Plantation 

A dog leg from right to left around the big tree; big hitters can carry beyond the corner but run the risk of a tricky second shot if they come up short or left. The green is located at the top of the hill and is protected by two greenside bunkers and a sloping face to the right. A good chance of birdie with the perfect drive.

Hole 4 – Finnies Drive

One of the shorter par 4’s on the course, golfers will feel a great chance of a birdie. With a slight dog leg to the right, your tee shot just needs to find the fairway to have the best chance of hitting the bunker protected, right to left sloping green. A very quick green which can catch out a lot of golfers, the slope to the bottom of the green can feel never ending!

Hole 5 – Galloway's Finest

The Jekyll and Hyde hole of the course with a changing complexion depending on tee location and wind direction. Front markers allow a short 120-yard par 3, with the back competition tees 195 yards. On a slope from right to left, to hit the green from the back tee is an achievement itself. A hole which sometimes depends on a bit of luck due to steep banking’s surrounding the green, walking away with par is nothing to be ashamed of!

Hole 6 - Four Trees

The first par 5 on the course. Good weather allows big hitters the opportunity of reaching the green in two shots for the chance of eagle. A tight tee shot with a tree line down the right side, finding the fairway is a must to have a chance of par or better. Please remember to ring the bell as you leave the hole and avoid any slow play.

Hole 7 - Over the Hill

The second par 5 on the course is straightforward from the yellow/red tee markers, but a very long a par 4 from white tee markers. A funnelled tee shot between the two tree lines opens to a wide fairway but then follows with a narrow 150-yard tree lined avenue to the green. Position is key and being the hardest hole on the course says it all! Again, remember to ring the bell after your tee shot.

Hole 8 - Mountainhall

A long par 3 from the yellow tees requires an accurate tee shot to land on the hard to hit green. Alternatively, from the white markers the hole changes to an easy par 4 with the use of good course management. Accurate big hitters can drive the green, but they must consider the 3 surrounding bunkers and tight tree line to the right-hand side of the hole.  Sensible play brings a great opportunity of a birdie.

Hole 9 - Crichton Royal

A par 3 along the front of the clubhouse to finish, in which the front tee box plays 50 yards shorter than the back. Around 140yards from the front tee box two front bunkers provide the green with its protection. Play from the back tee requires an accurate tee shot to have any chance of par. Birdies are a bonus especially on good weather days when an audience may be present outside the clubhouse!
