| Description: |
St Boswells was formed in 1899 and was formally opened by the Earl of Dalkeith MP - grandfather of the Duke of Buccleuch.
The course is situated close to the village of St Boswells along the south bank of the River Tweed, one of the longest fish rivers (it stretches to 100 miles) in the UK. On the opposite side of the river is Dryburgh Abbey, which was founded in 1150 and was the birthplace of Sir Walter Scott.
Willie Park laid out the original course in 1899 and it largely retains much of the character from Park's original design
A course not to be missed and one of the most picturesque in Scotland. Designed in 1899 by Willie Park Junior, using a strip of land next to the River Tweed. The ruins of Dryburgh Abbey can just be seen over the trees and further a field to Wallace Monument. Each hole is simple in character, most often flat with the occasional ancient tree overlooking the green but greatly enhanced by beautiful surrounding scenery.
At most holes, all the trouble is on the left hand sides of greens and fairways. Aim as far right as possible, if you have a hook! Most of all enjoy the beautiful scenery which most members take for granted. Physical challenge: Flat
