Golf in Scottish Borders
Two of the most well-known golf courses in The Scottish Borders were designed by Dave Thomas: Schloss Roxburghe Hotel & Golf Course and Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa. Other Scottish Borders golf courses you should definitely play are Hawick Golf Club, Eyemouth Golf Club, Peebles Golf Club and Torwoodlee Golf Club.
The Scottish Borders is perfectly positioned as perhaps the easiest destination in Scotland to reach; Edinburgh & The Lothians lie to the north, Dumfries & Galloway to the west and Northumberland in northern England to the south. The Scottish Borders is still not really discovered as a holiday destination which means fewer crowds and more opportunities to experience a land full of fairy-tale castles, breathtaking coastline, and lovely villages. When not golfing, visit Melrose Abbey, Abbotsford House and the village of Kelso.
Getting to The Scottish Borders is easy. When flying in, Edinburgh Airport is the closest airport. The Scottish Borders is accessible by train on the East Coast mainline between London and Edinburgh, which stops at nearby Dunbar and North Berwick in East Lothian, and in Berwick-upon-Tweed, which is located just across the border with England.
