About
Founded in 1894, Duns Golf Club has gone through many changes in its more than a century of existence, and continues to challenge the locals of Berwickshire as well as traveling golfers.
In 1921, the golf course was moved to its present location at the Hardens. There the course was designed by A.H. Scott, who also had another important job - as Royal Clubmaker to King George V. A nine-hole course until 1997,the course has grown as much in the past decade as it had the previous half-century.
The course plays to 6,298 yards from the back tees, with the women's tees set at 5,475 yards. Subtly rolling fairways give golfers exquisite views of the country side, all leading up to the signature hole - No. 15, which plays to just 107 yards, but from an elevated tee to a two-tiered green with trouble both in front and behind the hole, earning it the nickname "Double Trouble."

This is an excellent club and course. I was made very welcome by the staff and members, and enjoyed my day here. The course is a delight to play, and very well cared for- an enjoyable round of golf.
Wonderful course and welcome!
Our four ball played here last year and enjoyed it very much - yesterday’s trip was even better. The course was in excellent condition and we were made to feel very welcome. I understand that this is thanks to the army of volunteers that love their club and put in many, many hours to keep everything up to the very high standard we enjoyed. .
If you’re looking for a wonderful parkland golfing experience at an extremely affordable rate, do go out of your way to visit Duns.
Great day out.
Not busy. Second time round Duns. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely summer day. Some great holes. Thanks to the girls in the clubhouse for lunch and a welcome pint after our round.

Duns Golf course
This course is superb!Hospitality is exceptional.It is a true test of golf.
Great for time of year and recent weather.
Lovely course. Beautiful setting, farmland and countryside. Good long course with quite a few Par 5,s and long 4rs. Would recommend to anyone.
Only 9 holes in play and no mention.
During winter there’s only nine holes in play and there’s no mention of that when booking. Was very disappointed about this when we showed up to the golf course this morning. Course in good condition for winter. And brilliant course in summer however was very disappointed that there was only 9 holes in play.
