About
Founded in 1894, Duns Golf Club has gone through many changes in its more than a century of existence, and continues to challenge the locals of Berwickshire as well as traveling golfers.
In 1921, the golf course was moved to its present location at the Hardens. There the course was designed by A.H. Scott, who also had another important job - as Royal Clubmaker to King George V. A nine-hole course until 1997,the course has grown as much in the past decade as it had the previous half-century.
The course plays to 6,298 yards from the back tees, with the women's tees set at 5,475 yards. Subtly rolling fairways give golfers exquisite views of the country side, all leading up to the signature hole - No. 15, which plays to just 107 yards, but from an elevated tee to a two-tiered green with trouble both in front and behind the hole, earning it the nickname "Double Trouble."

Great Course
Greens were in great condition for the time of year. Very enjoyable round, would recommend a buggy as some holes are quite steep but a great course layout. Great value for money.
Cracking Wee Course
This is the 2nd time we've played Duns and it is great little course. The greens were fantastic and in very good condition despite the unusually dry spell. The course was very quiet for a Saturday afternoon so we enjoyed the warm weather and scenery with a leisurely stroll playing the variety of different holes this course has to offer.
Friendly reception on arrival and afterwards. Would recommend a visit if in the area.
Duns GC - VFM
I was greeted kindly both pre round and after by the bar helpers and enjoyed coffees and bacon sandwiches.
Both on the course and after the round I bumped into a few members who were very friendly and helpful.
The greens staff were very polite and are doing a great job. The course was in really good condition.
Overall, a good day and I would happily recommend Duns GC.
A lovely round again
Once again the course was in fantastic condition. There are 18 great holes my favourite being the par3 15th from an elevated tee down to a two tiered green. The members and staff are very friendly and moved our tee time to avoid the junior competition. Would become a country member if it was a little closer to Edinburgh.
Beautiful Course
Everything in great condition, the greens are so soft you could sleep on them.
A great day out in the Scottish borders
Very friendly club and great value for money. The greens were a bit slow and typical of good municipal courses. The layout was interesting and it was lovely playing a good course short of championship standards. Moderately undulating but not too hilly. Really a wee gem and we managed to play round in just over 2hrs. 40 minutes after playing through a members fourball at the third hole.
Very enjoyable and catering was at a good standard for golf club grub - served by a friendly team of staff who appeared to be enjoying their work.
Very enjoyable course
The course was in excellent condition and the greens were very good. A variety of holes in the layout and the fairways were very generous. Interesting couple of par 3s in the back 9 playing up a hill to a 190 yard par 3 and after 2 par 4s we returned to the same hill to play a short 105 yard par 3. Very enjoyable day and good value for money
Pleasant round in the countryside.
Nice course in the open countryside surrounded by rolling hills and fields. No pro shop but the clubhouse was welcoming and friendly. The course was very well maintained, the greens were rather spongy and not much run on the fairways but that was probably due to the recent heavy rain. Some long and tricky par 3’s. Enjoyed our round and well worth a visit.
Duns golf
Course great. Staff friendly. Only issue was I got stuck behind a four ball who would not let me through. They too were visitors.
Duns golf course review.
This was the 2nd time playing this course and on the day it was hot and windy.
The staff were very helpful and friendly.
The course is a challenge, especially when the wind gets up, but is in very good condition.
Very nice course
Lovely course very challenging especially in the wind highly recommend
Fabulous countryside course.
Marvellous laid out course full of challenges. Wildlife is amazing and so peaceful setting. Locals are very friendly, everyone stops to chat. Played this course twice now and will be coming back. We hired a buggy second time round as the back nine holes are a wee bit hilly and we are retired so occasionally like a treat.
Holiday game
Welcomed by the very helpful steward and headed straight to tee off Unfortunately one of the guys playing in front of us was just starting to play and was a wee bit slower than a regular player. The course was in very good condition with a few cheeky par 3s, there is no doubt that I will return next year for another round.
Duns in November
We had a great round in the sunshine. Fairways and Greens were in excellent condition.
Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will definitely return.
Well done Duns!
