Golf in the Scottish Borders

Scottish Borders Golf Breaks

The Scottish Borders are perfectly situated only a few hours drive from the major cities of northern England as well as the Scottish cities of Edinburgh or Glasgow.

The location makes it an ideal location to pass through and enjoy if you are doing a tour up to Scotland or makes for a perfect tour in itself where you can enjoy the beauty of Scottish golf without the crowds and prices you will find in other more well known regions.

Scottish Borders Golf

Charming layouts such as Peebles and Torwoodlee provide brilliant golf with majestic views through the forests and hillsides which feature so prominently in Scottish Borders golf. New Woll Estate is another great layout for any golfer with undulations throughout the round and once again features breathtaking views with a luxurious resort on site.

Macdonald Cardrona and The Roxburghe are other fantastic resorts within the Scottish Borders that also feature championship courses with extra facilities ensuring a magnificent stay.
