What The Club Says
Colvend Golf Club was founded in 1905. The principal architect was Willie Fernie. Colvend golf course was re-designed in 1985 by architect Dave Thomas. It was extended to 18 holes in May 1997. Our significantly testing eighteen hole parkland layout is situated on the gorgeous Solway Coast, conveniently located near to Dumfries, Southerness (with its holiday villages), Castle Douglas and Dalbeattie with views over the Solway Firth to the Cumbrian Fells and, on a good day, offering a glimpse of the Isle of Man. Some of the holes offer challenging water features, and tree lined fairways abound. We are particularly proud of our large Oak and other hardwood trees, many of which are a significant feature of some of the holes.

Jewel in the crown
You all know, those of you who rely on reviews to pick and choose where you go.....that occasionally, if you play this game long enough you end up finding a jewel in the crown that you wish to pass onto your fellow nutcases that play and love this absurd pastime.My buddy and I recently organised a trip up to Dumfries and Galloway, on advice we booked Southerness (and were suitably impressed), Powfoot (good test) and we then chose Colvend as our 3rd course as it gave us something different to the links nature of the other 2.
We arrived for our tee off time of 11.00am a little early and were met by a wee Scottish lassie named Wilma, she was super pleasant, had our cards and course planners together and our buggy all fired up and ready to go (more of that later!!). The course is relatively short at just over 5,000 yards and wouldn’t normally be a course we would have considered but so glad we did. It is a delightful mix of shortish par 4’s, tricky par 3’s and the occasional test of straight hitting....we played it whilst the ground was still fiery from the recent hot weather which lent another dimension, but loved every minute, we are so looking forward to playing again under somewhat more normal conditions. So, that should be enough shouldn’t it? No, when you throw in that when we came in Wilma served us drinks in the bar and made us a snack while explaining that the club is run by volunteers, people who love the game and give of their time to make sure that we golfers have that great experience, artisan in its purest form. All this while sitting outside watching other players finish off on the really tricky 18th in gorgeous sunshine..perfect!!)... So, regardless of whether you want somewhere quirky but a real golfers paradise for your society or like us you were just looking for that hidden gem with your mates, play and support this wonderful example of pure golf where everyone we met was just delightful.
Just as a matter of interest, it is rather hilly in places, so if you are a little seasoned, infirm in any way, or just lazy like us 2.!!!...get a buggy, they have plenty so take advantage.

The course was in good condition for the time of year; greens were a bit slow, but again as expected at this time of year (mid-March) they were however consistent.
The course itself is interesting with great views from the upper holes and varied from hole to hole and challenging in a good way for your average club golfer

Great course and great staff
spent a week on holiday at Barend and played this course four times. Peter the Steward was fantastic with his loan of clubs and nice welcome. Would strongly recommend any visitor to the area to try this course as it's challenging and interesting, plus the warm welcome.Reviewer Rating

Don't miss this cracking little course
This is a lovely course and you will receive the warmest of welcomes. Some fantastic hidden holes to negotiate and a beautiful setting. This course is a bit out of the way but well worth tracking it down, you won't be disappointed.Reviewer Rating
