Will be driving up on Sunday 3rd April. Ideally looking to stop after 2.5/3 hours. Seen a few but would like some recommendations.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I saw the thread title and immediately thought of West Linton, fabulous.Depends on route but that time could get you roughly to Edinburgh. West Linton on the A702 worth a look or at Edinburgh itself Mortonhall or Baberton are handy off the bypass.
Thanks for the suggestions so far. Played Silloth a fair bit so was wanting to tick a different course off. Will look at West Linton, Lanark and Selkirk.![]()
Hawick, another course I love. 16 holes up and two down, a board running the length of the 5th fairway to stop your ball running down the hill back to the clubhouse. Love it.Ignore Selkirk, go to Hawick few blind drives, but epic views...
And actually in the direct route between Carlisle and Edinburgh (as is Selkirk...)
I would avoid Kendal at all costs. Carlisle is class 5 minutes from Motorway. Lochmaben just over the border. Over 3 hours is Lanark, has been an Open Qualifying, highly recommended. Silloth is too much of a detour but difficult to beat
If you are a sheep!Kendal is great - some super fun holes, and good exercise!
Agree it's a nice course and it's on the way (to Edinburgh). You could be right about the finish, certainly the 17th is as I remember carving one of the 1st ProV1s I bought OB from the tee!West Linton is very nice, double par 3 finish if I remember correctly.
Still very, very nice, a top course. I'm back to give it another go this year. Not sure that it fits the route too well but if it does then it should certainly be a contender.The Roxburghe might be a possibility, but I last played it many years ago and haven't heard much about it since.
