The history of the Scottish Borders comes alive at Minto Golf Course, an 18-hole championship run that will challenge golfers of all levels while giving them scenic views of the local countryside. Near the 17th-century village of Denholm, Minto Golf Club was established in 1928.

A mainstay of the Scottish Borders popular Freedom of the Fairways program, Minto has spent more than a decade in a non-stop effort to improve every aspect of the course. The results are well-maintained fairways and greens and a delightful round of golf. With the hard work of the dedicated staff, Minto Golf Club - set in rolling parkland with mature woodland - has earned a reputation as one of the most well-maintained golf courses in the Southern part of Scotland.

Minto GolfClub's signature hole is undoubtedly No.12, a 267-yard par 4 named "Everest." A tight drive through the tree-lined fairway is demanded, and the approach shot takes you to a a small, postage stamp green where trouble lurks behind. The No. 11 hole, named "Dunion," is possibly the most scenic hole on this incredibly scenic course, as golfers will have awe-inspiring views Dunion Hill on the left and the Border hills to the right.

Following your round at this course that plays more than 5,600 yards and to a par of 69, enjoy a relaxing time on the patio to soak in more of the brilliant Scottish Border ambiance.

A truly enjoyable course

Having played Minto a few times, all in good weather fortunately, we were keen to play on Thursday.
Despite recent heavy rain the course was good and the ball ran well.
This time we remembered to pace ourselves for the uphill holes a bit more which paid off well .
Being midweek there were enough golfers around to be sociable with but it was not too busy so made for a lovely relaxing round in lovely weather , good conditions and beautiful scenery.

A beautiful course and a hidden gem

The course is beautiful and well maintained. It was a fun course to play, quite challenging for me but that doesn't mean its challenging in general. It's a bit out of the way and not very busy, which is a shame because they deserve to be mobbed. Fantastic value at £20

Great day out at Minto

Really enjoyed playing the course which was in immaculate condition.
Interesting holes which required accuracy off the tee not necessarily length.
Would definitely recommend a visit if your in the Borders area.

Fantastic views from a great course

First time playing Minto. Played most courses in the Borders. Would say this is one of the best. Course was in good nick given the time of year and wet weather. Greens had recently been hollow tined but ran true. Will definitely go back next year in the better weather. members were approachable and friendly. Felt welcome.

Great course, friendly and helpful staff.

We’ve played here twice. Great course, holes offering a variety of challenges.
Staff have always been friendly and helpful.
Our only gripe is the condition of the road into the course. It looks like the RAF have cluster bombed it. The potholes are spring/shock absorber wreckers so be careful.

We haven't enjoyed a game of golf as good as this for many months...Everything from the course to the friendly members was top notch...
Can't speak to highly of the whole experience...

Our round

First time playing this lovely course, but be prepared this is a tuff walk, felt we needed a oxygen bottle after some of the holes.
Course was in great condition, some of the views from certain tees are stunning and certainly take your breath away.
Would we play it again you bet we would.

First time at Minto

My husband and I played at Minto on 7th July on a lovely sunny day . The course was quiet and it was a pleasure to play in such a beautiful setting . The fairways were in excellent condition and although some of the greens were a bit bumpy it didn’t spoil our game. This was our first time here and we found it easy to navigate. We had a drink on the patio afterwards, the bar staff were friendly and welcoming and from what little we saw inside the clubhouse looked very smart and inviting. We would definitely like to play again sometime.
