Playing
Arrangements Visitors are welcome any day of the week and if a club competition
should be in progress, every effort will be made to accommodate them. The club
steward is in attendance during the day and the office is usually manned during
working hours, so there should be someone around to welcome visitors and book
them in. Facilities
There are toilets, washing and changing facilities for both ladies and gents.;
Bar and catering facilities are normally available during the season. To help
those with mobility problems, there are buggies for hire at reasonable rates.
This ensures that their round will be enjoyed to the full. Hire charges for buggies are £10 for 18 holes. For use of more than 18 holes the charge is pro-rata. The buggies take two golfers who must be over the age of eighteen. There is also a practice putting green and a practice area provided.

The
Course
Recently this 9 hole parkland course has been considerably extended
and consists of seven par 4's and two par 3's. For gentlemen the par and standard
scratch is 68, and for ladies it is a testing 70. The layout provides an excellent
challenge for golfers of all abilities. There are a few slopes to negotiate
but you are rewarded with some truly magnificent views along the Urr valley, north
to Cairnsmore of Fleet and south to Kippford and the Lake District hills. The
course is a haven for wildlife - birds of prey fly overhead, deer are often seen
and woodland song birds abound in the Rounall wood, which is adjacent to the course
- so you don't have to be a golfer to enjoy this course.
Notable
Holes The 4th which is a 363 yard par 4 is memorable for many and varied
reasons. With out of bounds to the left and restrictions to the right - a good
straight drive is required to the corner of the course where a right angle dogleg
is negotiated for a pitch to a smallish green. If you escape with a par here -
you can count your blessings and continue on your way in the knowledge that you
will have another chance to "have a go at it" in your second round. How
to get there From Dumfries approach Dalbeattie via the A711. Out of the
town, the course is well signposted off the B794 Haugh of Urr road - going through
Maxwell Park to a spacious parking area, which is provided for members and visitors.
An approach to the clubhouse can be made using the well-worn track through the
Rounall Wood, which is also signposted. |
