Golf courses in Scottish Borders

The Scottish Borders is for the golfer who enjoys looking beyond the beaten track. No famous Open Championship courses, no busy tourist destinations, but a region steeped in Scottish history that offers golf in a way that feels authentic and unhurried. Leading Courses favourites include Roxburghe Golf Course and Macdonald Cardrona Hotel & Golf Course, both designed by Dave Thomas. Roxburghe is a parkland course along the banks of the Teviot, with views across the typical Borders landscape that make you momentarily forget your score between holes. Hawick Golf Club, founded in 1877, is the oldest club in the region and one of those quintessentially Scottish heathland courses you won't find anywhere else in Europe. The Scottish Borders is an hour's drive from Edinburgh Airport and borders northern England, making the region easy to combine with a visit to the courses of Northumberland or East Lothian. The Borders landscape is beautiful and there is plenty to see beyond golf: Melrose Abbey, Abbotsford House and the picturesque villages along the River Tweed. Greenfees are low and the courses are rarely busy. Because after a round in this quiet corner of Scotland, a glass of malt whisky at the nineteenth hole tastes just a little better.
