About
The Dumfries and County Golf Club is a privately owned parkland golf course situated on the outskirts of Dumfries. Bordered on one side by the Nith River, it offers spectacular views of the Nith Valley and surrounding countryside.
The USGA-standard greens are among the best in the area. Built on 89 acres, this golf course demands a high degree of course management to achieve a par of 69.
The fifth hole - Spion Kop - is named after the famous battle of the Boer War. The 374-yard par-4 starts from an elevated tee, with a second shot to an elevated green. The right-hand side is bordered by the Nith.
No. 15 is a 371-yard par-4 with a dogleg to the right. The second shot to a lower level green is protected by a massive tree named after legendary golfer and course designer James Braid.

Don’t be fooled by the yardage!
Great course, very tricky in areas and blind shots meaning you’ve got pick your line. The yardage makes the course look like it will be easy but tight fairways, punishing rough, a lot of shots uphill to the green mean this plays a lot longer than it should. Greens were in great condition.
Dumfries & County Golf Club
Beautiful course in excellent condition with some stunning views. Slow pace of play due to groups ahead playing in a competitive Texas Scramble but the weather was good so more time to enjoy the scenery.
The Club house was lovely with efficient staff and friendly members. Food was tasty and the beer refreshing.
It’s quite a challenging course to walk so I’d recommend a buggy which are reasonably priced.
Looking forward to returning to play here again.
What a lovely golf course
This course cannot be recommended enough. The course was in great condition and the layout it perfect. The clubhouse is also really nice and staff were great and very helpful. The food is also fantastic with a great choice and large portions. I would definitely return
We'll be back
Great course, friendly staff, other players were courteous and friendly too.
Quite hilly, we would take buggies again.
Excellent
Well I will most certainly be back,great course would highly recommend to anyone
Nice
Nice course and clubhouse. Up and down fairways. Some tight opening holes. Fast true greens and good bunkers. Overall a very good track
Outstanding parkland course
Really enjoyed the course, a fine parkland course with nice views and some really nice holes.
My favorite being the 2nd and the 6th. the greens were outstanding I found them extremely tricky and fast!
Dumfries golf
Friendly staff, course in magnificent condition, great layout. Catering and bar staff very friendly. Can't wait to go back
Course condition
Greens absolutely superb, will definitely be back, some steep hills on the front nine but overall a good test of golf for all abilities and a pleasure to play
Incredible Course
Amazing day out, quality and well maintained track. For what felt like a months worth of rain before we teed off, the course was in fantastic condition. Greens very firm and fair. And generally good condition throughout. Will be returning again on the next trip to Scotland
Very good place to play, would recommend it to friends and family.
A very good course, lots of changes and challenging sections all throughout the course.
Trip to D and G
Great course in great condition, with fabulous staff and members. Couldn't fault our visit and for £25 pp what an absolute steal and we will return.
Lovely Course
Played Dumfries and County yesterday. What a lovely course in first class condition. Greens were fast a d true - would definitely play here again.
County day out
Was a lovely day out only one complaint that first time on very hard to know where you going and if any trouble over hill or not, would have been excellent if yardage book was available or something to show the hole you playing, but brilliant course and a must for all golfers .
Difficult for ladies
My husband and I played this course in the rain. With our handicaps we can normally compete with each other but with all the hills I was hitting 2 shots to reach my husbands ball.
Good course if you want to hit a long ball but not the most interesting I have played.
The course was in great condition though.
