About Dumfries and Galloway Golf Course

Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club is an 18-hole parkland course on the western side of Dumfries. It should not be confused with Dumfries and County Golf Club, the separate Willie Fernie-designed club established in 1912 on the other side of the town. The Galloway course is published at 6,222 yards and par 70, with a rolling parkland character.

Historical material connects the design with Willie Fernie, winner of the 1883 Open Championship and a prolific Scottish course architect. Sources disagree over the club's earliest establishment date, with 1880 and 1894 both appearing, while accounts place the move to the present Summerhill site in the mid-1890s. Visitors are accepted and the course is supported by a clubhouse and membership operation.

The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 70, 5,690m (6,222 yards). The course was designed by Willie Fernie. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Clubhouse, Dining, Membership.

Origins

The club's early chronology is reported differently by available sources. Accounts place golf under the Dumfries and Galloway name in the late nineteenth century and the club at its present Summerhill/Laurieston Avenue home by the mid-1890s.

Design Philosophy

Willie Fernie's routing uses rolling inland terrain rather than links ground, creating a traditional Scottish parkland course.

Today

The course is an 18-hole, par-70 layout measuring 6,222 yards and remains open to visiting golfers.
