DESTINATION GOLF SCOTLAND 2023
Downfield
Set amidst deep woodland , Downfield has that sweet , lazy parkland feel where holes are embraced by mature trees and several greens are cocooned by them . Downfield was designed originally by James Braid , in 1932 , although only a few of his holes remain . It is often listed among Britain ’ s favourite parklands ... given that water appears on seven holes and you are constantly overshadowed by the endless and elegant woodland it is little wonder . The course plays to a par of 70 or 73 : three par fives ( back tees ) become formidable par fours from the forward tees . There is wonderful shape to Downfield , especially on the back nine . Don ’ t be surprised if you haven ’ t heard of it … do be surprised if you don ’ t fall in love with it .
