Another Glorious Monday bank holiday

It was another glorious day and the course was looking immaculate.

Shame about the slowest 2 ball in history playing in front of me and not once did they offer me to play through - can’t blame the club though.

Shame the bar / restaurant doesn’t open on a Monday but plenty of amenities in Thornhill itself.

Glorious Sunday

Managed to get a late afternoon Sunday booking at short notice and thoroughly enjoyed playing this magnificent course again.

The course was in immaculate condition as always and the changes and improvements made round the course have only improved the overall experience.

Wet & Windy but enjoyable

Following a number of weeks dry weather the fairways were slightly brown but in great condition, the greens were excellent.

Whilst it was very wet & windy the surrounding trees offered some respite if required.

Another excellent round

The weather was perfect and matched the course conditions.

The fairways and greens were perfect and a very enjoyable round of golf.

The staff and members were also very friendly and helpful.

I would certainly recommend Thornhill for a great round of golf.

Only issue was clubhouse was closed so no option for a drink/coffee before and after the round.

Thornhill shines

This truly is a beautiful course to play with some taxing holes for all handicaps

The course has undergone some redesign and the changes have really made this into a stunning course and unbeatable on a sunny day

Hidden gem

Played this today, course was in great condition for the start of the season, only downside was still playing off winter tee boxes, apart from that I really couldn't fault this course. Was our first visit and will definitely play this again when back in the area. Highly recommend a visit

First time

First impressions looked really nice the course looked good the weather was perfect. Temp tee off which was OK. Plenty off bins and ball washers and not far to go to next tee. Would recommend signs on some off the tee offs so you now what path to go. The course itself was in very good condition the greens were abit dry in need off some watering but ok to play. Enjoyed playing the course and will definitely come back when main tee off are open. Wasn't sure if it has a shop did look to get a drink after our game but nobody or nothing seems open maybe next time when we come back in the summer not to worry . Can't fault the course and the facilities it has to go with it maybe look at better scorecards more information on the the course like distance from tees and course layout and what par it is just suggestions for the future but defo come back

Beautiful surroundings

Following extreme wet weather the course was still playable and in good conditions.

Main problem is no staff available - for a visitor can be slightly off putting.

Thinkers course

First time at Thornhill at was really surprised at the condition of the fairways and greens despite the recent weather, they were in excellent condition apart from one hole where the tractor had left tyre marks on the fairway, was easy enough to drive over the damage though, thinking of joining as a country member next year as my second club, definitely worth the cost and the travel from Beattock, if you are looking for an inexpensive round of golf on an inland parkland course then go for it.

Brilliant course

Brilliant course.

Such a great day, great set up and condition!

Couldn’t ask for a better course considering the money.

Staff were lovely too.

Not too much of a pro shop on site so make sure you have all your stuff prior. (Not a bad thing at all)

Would go back in a heartbeat
