Colvend Golf Club

Colvend is regarded as one of Scotland's friendliest clubs, an 18-hole parkland course perched on the Solway coastline near Dalbeattie. The original nine holes were laid out by Open Champion Willie Fernie in 1905, later remodelled by Dave Thomas and extended to a full 18 in 1997. The course offers enjoyable variety and a touch of quirkiness, with sweeping views across the Solway to the Cumbrian Fells and the Isle of Man, native woodland, and resident otters, deer and red squirrels. The picturesque par-4 18th, played over a burn and pond, is a memorable finishing hole.
