The Course
Attractive parkland course situated 3 miles from the Championship Roxburghe course. Kelso is well known for the fine condition of its greens and fairways. The original course was designed by Ben Sayers then re-designed by James Braid in 1930. The now mature 18 hole layout was re-opened in 1980.
Best Holes

11th 497 yards

Long hole leading towards the racecourse stand. Main problem a drainage ditch which can catch a poor third.
|
|
15th 172 yards
|
Almost certainly the best short hole in the Borders - tricky slopes, bunkers and out of bounds behind the green.
