Portpatrick Dunskey Golf Club (Dinvin)

Situated on the coast in south-west Scotland, Portpatrick Dunskey Golf Club is just a short stroll from the picturesque village of Portpatrick and boasts two superbly maintained courses. Overlooking the North Channel to Ireland, Portpatrick Dunskey enjoys a temperate climate due to the Gulf Stream and is playable all year round. The Dunskey 18-hole and the Dinvin 9-hole courses, which are a mixture of rolling moorland and seaside heath sit around 150 feet above sea level. Both courses offer spectacular views and on clear days the Isle of Man, Mourne Mountains and Mull of Kintyre can be seen. One of Portpatrick’s well-kept secrets is the excellent 9-hole, Par 3 Dinvin Course, which is maintained to the same high standards as the 18-hole Dunskey Course. Taking about an hour to play, it is ideal for the golfer looking for a quick bit of exercise or for the beginner who does not feel up to the rigours of 18 holes. The Dinvin Course is a Par 27 measuring 1346 yards. It is perfect for families, requiring no advance booking it simply means pay and play.
