This fabulous links course near Dumfries could easily be described as 'Scottish golf's forgotten gem'. Those who have played it know the course's merits when it comes to being ranked among the best in the country but there are many who probably won't know about Southerness due to its geographical location.

The course runs along the Solway Firth and is renowned for its tough par-4s, eight of which measure in excess of 400 yards. Both the Scottish Amateur Championship and Scottish Stroke-play Championship have been held here in recent years.
