Designed by James Braid in 1903, Powfoot is located in the Scottish Lowlands near the Solway Firth, facing facing the Cumbrian Lake District. The front nine is a challenging links, while the home holes are more parkland in style, but retain the threat of gorse and whins bordering close to the fairways and greens. Powfoot is an enjoyable challenge for all, and visitors will be warmly welcomed.

0800 043 6644The course measures 6,255 yards from the back tees, so is not designed to be a championship course, however with five holes measuring over 400 yards and only one par 5 Powfoot is sure to provide golfers of all levels with a test.
There are some capital holes, especially the long par four 3rd, aptly named 'Shore' as it unsurprisingly hugs the shoreline. The 9th is also a challenging par four which requires a long carry from the tee and your approach shot must then clear a bomb crater which is situated some 100 yards from the tough, undulating putting surface.
Powfoot Golf Club is one of Scotland's real gems, and if you are planning a trip to this part of the country then be sure to have it on your itinerary.

James Braid links with pleasant views across Solway Firth. Round in 3.5 hours and the course was busy! Really interesting layout, with some great par 3s and short par 4s alongside the standard 4s and 5s. Would definitely recommend play Powfoot again next time I’m in Cumbria/Dumfries.

Course conditions were not the same as the other two courses we played on the trip, however the layout is interesting with some classic links style holes and some excellent green complexes.Some really good par 3s, and as the pro kindly allowed us to play from the white tees some long par 4s. The greens had a few bare patches that had been seeded, and some of the general course areas, and indeed the clubhouse needs a bit of attention. It was however an enjoyable round and would certainly play there again, although it doesn't give you that " I can't wait to play here again" feeling.

One word, fantastic, what a gem this place is. The course was in brilliant condition and the greens are something else. The guy in the pro shop so so helpful as we're the other members we met. I'd rate this one of the best courses I've played and that includes Spain and the USA, well done Powfoot for a fantastic day.
