The Duke of Roxburghe commissioned Dave Thomas, one of the world's most highly regarded golf course designers, to design the Roxburghe Golf Course. With deep, challenging bunkers and generous rolling greens, it is the only 18 hole Championship standard golf course in the Scottish Borders, and uses mature woodland to define fairways. It has already been recognised as one of the outstanding parkland courses in the country, and was recently voted in the top ten new courses opening since 1997 by Golf World.

The beautiful 18-hole golf course at The Roxburghe Hotel was built in 1995 to provide additional leisure facilities for our hotel guests and visitors. Guests enjoy priority booking rights and other privileges when staying at the hotel and a number of special golfing breaks are available throughout the year. The Roxburghe Course, 7111 yards from the championship tees, par 72, compares favourably with the finest inland Scottish courses and should challenge and delight players at all levels of proficiency. Golf World recently included the Roxburghe Golf Course in the top ten new golf courses in the UK in the last two years.

Colin Montgomerie was recently quoted as saying : "The greens are immaculate and the picturesque course is perfect to play for professionals and amateurs. I look forward to playing the Roxburghe whenever I'm in the area and hopefully, in the future, in tournament golf, because the course would make a superb venue." While Nick Faldo comments : "I believe there is enormous potential for The Roxburghe Golf Course, which I found to be enjoyable and a most enchanting golf course for the Border region. It is challenging with wonderful views. With time and maturity the course can only improve to become one of the most delightful courses in Scotland."
