About Powfoot Golf Club

Powfoot Golf Club is an 18-hole course at Cummertrees near Annan in Dumfries and Galloway. The club was constituted in 1903 and formally opened on 27 June that year with nine holes; an opening match featured professionals Sandy Herd and Willie Fernie. The course expanded to 18 holes in 1911.

James Braid visited in November 1923 and strengthened several holes by creating longer tee positions and adding bunkers.

Origins

Powfoot was constituted in 1903 and opened on 27 June with nine holes. The opening celebrations included a 36-hole match between Sandy Herd and Willie Fernie.

Did You Know?
A depression beside the ninth remains from a German bomb dropped during the Second World War.

Development

The course expanded to 18 holes in 1911. James Braid visited in November 1923 and strengthened several weaker holes with longer tees and new bunkering. Five holes were cultivated during the world wars, reducing the usable course to 13 holes.

After the Second World War the lost holes were reseeded and the full 18 restored in 1949.

Today

The club says the course has remained relatively unchanged since the post-war restoration and continues to combine links and inland parkland characteristics.
