Golf

For the enthusiast, Stranraer, Portpartick Dunskey & Glunluce are all superb 18 Hole Championship courses and the Blue Peter Hotel will arrange all your golfing needs

Stranraer Golf Club
The spirt of James Braid, five times Open Champion, lives on in this classic championship course, the last he designed. Unfortunately he died in 1951 before the course opened.
In the Spring of 1994 a new two story Club House was built, to complement this, the finist of courses. From the first floor lounge bar with a backdrop of surrounding hills, Loch Ryan and passing ferries to and from Ireland. Due to the mild climate in the South West of Scotland the course remains playable all year and is frost free on all but a few days.

Dunskey Golf Club, Port Patrick
A very well kept, undulating links course, Dunskey has some exceptionally scenic clifftop holes, tempting visitors to return, year after year. The wind is often a factor, and the par 68 can be quite difficult to play. Dunskey hosts several annual tournaments and visitors are encouraged to join in competitive play.

Adjacent to the clubhouse, the par 3, 9 hole Dinvin course is certainly not to be sneezed at. A tricky layout which has several blind holes, it is bound to improve you short game.
