What The Club Says

McKenzie Ross's brilliant design has been complemented by an excellent Head Greenkeeper and staff, who have now had a settled period of several years together which has brought the course into tip top condition. This has been recognised by "Golf Monthly", who have included Southerness in their list of top 100 courses in Britain and Ireland each year since 1990.

This is a true Championship Links course, measuring 6728 yards from the white (Championship) tees, 6566 from the white tees, 6110 from the yellow tees and 5622 from the red tees.

Delightful Dumfries Links

Super course and a real coastal treat. A flat (ish) links which meanders away from the coast for first few holes (around a cow field) but then routes back to a fabulous 12th hole which has one of the best views you will ever encounter. A tough finish if the wind is coming off the Solway coast from 14-17 especially with the more accessible par 5 18th back to the clubhouse providing a little reward for resilience on the back 9. Go and enjoy it like we did on a calm July evening. £60 tee off for visitors, easily got round in daylight from a 550pm tee off.

Outstanding

Southerness is one of the best links courses in the British Isles, Ben&phils review whilst positive, doesn’t go far enough to explain what a quality layout this course is. It is up there with best in Scotland&GB&I without a doubt. A MUST visit for links lovers

No review review

We played Southerness in a texas scramble comp recently if we'd walked in the firth we couldn't get any wetter so couldn't really review the course other than I'd love to play it again in dryer conditions,if it's allowed I would recommend the Birchtree hotel in nearby Dalmeadie if you're looking for accommodation when playing southerness.

Fantastic course in great condition. Definitely consider this place a hidden gem. We played on a relatively calm day weather wise and was tricky. We the wind blows this place would be a brute of a course but very enjoyable all the same. Friendly welcome from the pro's and members alike which is to their credit

True Links Challenge

Tucked away from major conurbations this is a fantastic true golf links with all the challenges that come with it (long rough, firm ground, variable weather, etc). It’s a great links and a perfect place to experience the origins of golf. The ground is firm and the fairways clipped short so you’ll need to ’nip’ it off the surface, and if you do you will be rewarded. Southerness was very well presented with no gimmicks or fuss but a fantastically warm welcome from the staff and also the members who were teeing off before us. We played on a relatively calm day but we did get the full experience with gusty winds and short bursts of rain coming off the low mountain clouds. The greens were a pleasure to putt on and the bunkers were a treat too. If you’re up for playing links golf I’d highly recommend Southerness.

Relentless

Maybe lacks the character and variety of some other links but this is a tough, relentless, quality test of golf. Very warm welcome at the club and one to tick off your list if in the area.

The course has been opened up with many bushes and trees removed allowing more sea views. The greens are also excellent all year round.
