A great value hidden gem!
A very charming course in the Scottish Borders. Excellent value, in good condition and a pleasing set of holes set in the stunning Scottish countryside. We played this in the late afternoon after travelling down to the area that morning and it proved to be a great warm up course for the rest of our golf trip that week.Reviewer Rating

great course
Not played the course for about 10 years and remembered some of the holes.Really enjoyed my round. Good length holes for me as an intermediate level player.
Great mix of levelish & tiered holes.
Friendly members who invited me as a solo to join them.
Office team very friendly also.

Hidden gem
Played Duns on September 20th 2023. Weather was good if a little windy. Course was in fantastic condition even though it had been raining the day and night before. Greens were extremely lush which made them a bit slower but they were in magnificent condition.Reviewer Rating

A good test
We played the course one evening, after a week of heavy showers, but the course was in good condition, especially the greens which ran smoothly and consistently. There is a lovely variety in the way the course is designed, quite a few shaped fairways and doglegs. It's a very enjoyable course to play, the back nine slightly shorter than the front nine.We received a very warm welcome in the clubhouse and the catering was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend this course and hope to return next year.

Excellent Course
Fairways were excellent, rough was perfect and not too punishing. greens run as you seen them.People were really friendly and a true credit to your club.
I played about 30 years ago, when it was a 9 hole course, I certainly won't be waiting that long this time and will encourage my golf friends to visit this absolute stunner.

A rainy Sunday and the course was empty. Considering the amount of rain the course was in great condition and testing.
Great service and superb value for money.
They even do Friday evening for £10

Nice little course to play, course is beautifully laid out with some tricky little holes but green condition was very poor. Having played links for couple days could not believe how hard you had to hit it to the hole!

Duns is a pleasant layout set in a peaceful location, despite having a road splitting the course in half. The "new 9", which has been in place for 10 years, actually appears more mature than the original 9 holes and contains the more picturesque holes. The installation of the planned ponds and extra bunkers will raise this course to the next level again.
The welcome we received in the clubhouse was very friendly and the food and drink at lunchtime was of good quality and excellent value.
