The course was originally 9 holes, extended to 18 a few years ago. It is laid out in parkland at the foot of Hardens Hill to the west of Duns with views of the surrounding countryside and south to the Cheviot Hills across the tweed Valley. The course has a few gentle slopes with 2 or 3 short but steeper climbs.

The course measures 5763 yards from the yellow tees. 5405 yards from the Ladies tees and is a fair test of Golf for experienced players while at the same time providing an enjoyable round for Holiday Visitors. The main Hazard is the Burn which winds its way through the course and comes into play at several of the holes. The 15th ("Double Trouble") is a par 3 of 116 yards played from a high tee onto the double tiered green below, with the burn front and back of the green.

Bunkers are being added gradually. There is a newly extended clubhouse with lounge and bar facilities, a dining area and full catering which are available 7 days a week throughout the year. Tee times are readily available weekdays and weekends but it is advisable to ring the clubhouse to book a tee time to avoid disappointment. No handicap certificates required. The club was recently joint runner-up in the award for the most visitor friendly 18 hole course in the Borders.
