Introduction
This is an extract from an article in the Saffron Walden Golf Club Gazette (July 2006)
"This is a terrifically friendly club. And it's a challenging and beautiful course to play too, from the little par-three 1st to the gorgeous par-three 14th with the green hidden behind a dry stone wall, and the 15th with its long drive, pond on the left, then a dog-leg left with the railway line bordering the whole fairway to the right. ....for me and my work-weary colleagues it's the first on the list for the summer trip. Give Thornhill a go sometime. You won't regret it."

Andy Gregory, Saffron Walden Golf Club, Essex
Welcome to Thornhill Golf Club, SW Scotland's Hidden Gem

Thornhill is a picturesque village in Mid Nithsdale, Dumfries & Galloway. The golf club was established in 1893 as a 9 hole course and extended to 18 holes in 1979.

The course is a mixture of park and heathland with magnificent panoramic views which are equal to any in Scotland. It has been often described as a "hidden gem".

"Thornhill has shown real and steady growth over the past 10 years; due to planned greenkeeping practices. It is now regarded as one of the best conditioned and presented golf courses in the South West of Scotland.
Thornhill offers real golf in wonderfully natural surroundings - a real joy to play"

Richard Windows, STRI Turfgrass Agronomist and Official R&A Agronomist Scotland

At 6085 yards, over relatively level terrain the course provides a good test for all golfers and is friendly to those of mature years.

The Club has a fine record in amateur competition, boasting honours in national team and single events. Several members have gone on to enjoy successful professional careers, the most notable being Andrew Coltart.
