Dumfries and Galloway 2 upcoming events

Stranraer Golf Club is an 18-hole, par 70 parkland course measuring 6,308 yards from the back tees, located at Creachmore near Leswalt, just outside the town of Stranraer in Dumfries and Galloway. The course holds a notable place in golf history as the final design commission of James Braid, the five-time Open Champion and prolific course architect responsible for layouts including Gleneagles and Carnoustie. Braid came out of retirement to redesign what had been a 9-hole course, completing the work in 1950 shortly before his death that same year. The new 18-hole layout opened for play in 1952. Situated on an escarpment beside Loch Ryan, the course is laid out across former farmland with mature stands of trees, rolling fairways, and elevation changes that give many holes a sense of theatre. Views extend across the loch to Ailsa Craig and, on clear days, toward the Isle of Arran. The terrain is undulating throughout, and the course plays more challenging than its modest yardage suggests, particularly when coastal winds pick up. The signature hole is the 397-yard par four 5th, known as "Corunna," played from a dramatically elevated tee above Loch Ryan. The tee shot demands precision down a tight fairway with a gorse-covered bank on the left and out of bounds along the shoreline to the right. The hole has been voted by readers of a Scottish golf magazine as one of the toughest individual holes in the country. The back nine is widely regarded as the stronger half, featuring elevated tee shots and doglegged fairways reminiscent of Braid's work at Gleneagles. Golf World ranked Stranraer 74th in Scotland in 2022.
