The best links golf in the west of Scotland is largely
contained along the Ayrshire coast between Turnberry and the
surrounds of Troon and Prestwick. but there are pockets where fine
examples of the best traditional golf can be found. One of the
finest examples is Southerness, truly one of Scotland's hidden golf
assets, with its spectacular views across the coast of Galloway and
to the mountains of the Lake District. Mackenzie Ross, who rebuilt
Turnberry after it was dug up to make way for an airfield during
World War 11, was the man responsible for creating the beautiful
Southerness layout fifteen miles from the County town of Dumfries
on the shores of the Solway Firth.
