Wigtownshire County Golf Course.
The Course lies on the shores of the scenic Luce Bay. On a clear day, looking South towards Luce Bay, the Isle of Man can be seen. Although the course is slightly under 6000 yards, it is a test for both high and low handicap players, due to the differing directions of the sea breezes.
The Course is also playable, on normal greens, throughout the winter. On average, frost greens may be used 8 or 9 times each year, with snow being a rare occurrence.
There is also a practice area of over 4 acres adjacent to the Clubhouse.
Portpatrick Golf Club
Situated on the coast in south west Scotland, overlooking the North Channel to Ireland, Portpatrick Dunskey enjoys a temperate climate due to the Gulf Stream and is playable all year round. There are 2 courses, the Dunskey 18-hole, and the Dinvin 9-hole, which are a mixure of rolling moorland and seaside heath, at around 150 feet above sea level.
