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.
 The
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.
