Duns Golf Club
About
Founded in 1894, Duns Golf Club has gone through many changes in its more than a century of existence, and continues to challenge the locals of Berwickshire as well as traveling golfers.
In 1921, the golf course was moved to its present location at the Hardens. There the course was designed by A.H. Scott, who also had another important job - as Royal Clubmaker to King George V. A nine-hole course until 1997,the course has grown as much in the past decade as it had the previous half-century.
The course plays to 6,298 yards from the back tees, with the women's tees set at 5,475 yards. Subtly rolling fairways give golfers exquisite views of the country side, all leading up to the signature hole - No. 15, which plays to just 107 yards, but from an elevated tee to a two-tiered green with trouble both in front and behind the hole, earning it the nickname "Double Trouble."

Fabulous
Absolutely fabulous course. Well kept, varied and challenging. Amazing!
Enjoyable round
Strong winds and heavy rain showers did not spoil the enjoyment of my round at Duns.
Friendly staff in the well appointed clubhouse, a challenging but relatively forgiving course with a great variety of holes and features around the course.
Overall, very enjoyable. Would recommend and would play again.
Duns
For the time of year and the rain we’ve had it’s as good as it could be maybe tee boxes could do with attendion
Enjoyable but …
Lovely playing golf with eldest but greens in poor condition. No one at club house before or after so can’t comment on amenities. Nice course layout and some great par 3s and the members we met were great but I feel I will look elsewhere in the Borders to play -
First time at Duns
My husband and I played here for the first time on 9th July . We had a late morning tee time and the course was very quiet which was fine as not knowing the layout made us a bit slow to start with .It is an interesting course with some lovely wide fairways and dog legs to negotiate. The par 3’s were a bit challenging too. There are some quite hilly parts but the views are amazing and the vegetation and topography are superb.
We could not comment on the clubhouse facilities as we didn’t use them except for hiring a trolley which we would recommend.as carrying would have spoilt our game .
Tough wee course
Loved this course to bits some cracking par 3s tough to score on but wat the matter golf to he enjoyed
9 holes closed.
I’ve played this course 2 weekends in a row. First was in reason bad rain and wind and full course was open. Second time was in the glorious sunny shine and no wind! But because of a small amount of frost in morning they closed half the course? Really poor as by 10:30 all of frost was gone. And they could have reopened the 9!holes which were closed
Nice Course
I played here for the first time. With it being winter and after recent rain I wasn't sure what to expect. The course although soft underfoot wasn't in bad condition, mostly on winter tees but all the greens were in play.
The front 9 is ok but the back 9 is lovely with some interesting holes.
I will play here again hopefully in the summer.
The course was in excellent condition for time of year will be back to play it again
Duns golf
Only played here once but found it excellent, great condition and very scenic views all around the course.
