View of the clubhouse at Minto Golf Course

Minto Golf Club is laid out through the aged groves of a woodland estate established many years ago. It's an excellent parkland course with fine arboreal specimens tucked away behind the village of Denholm and overlooked by the imposing Rubers Law. The course plays over ambling, gentle slopes that are tree-lined for the first 10 holes before opening out into wider plains at the 11th.

One of the greens at MintoThe 4th is a difficult par three playing across the top of the course and onto level ground. Here, the course opens out and the main challenge is hitting the ball, should it be blowing, into a westerly wind. Despite being built on the side of a hill, there are no steep climbs although the view from the 12th tee, on a hole they call Everest, can give rise to palpitations. This is a short par four that suddenly ascends before the pin, the kind of hole that is as much a psychological challenge as a physical one.

The rough is fairly lenient and several new bunkers have appeared to add to the challenge as well as a narrowing of the fairways. More trees have also been planted on the back nine. Minto's clubhouse is very modern, small but welcoming, and was built, to a large degree, by the fair hands of the club members.
