Set in beautiful parkland, Dundee's premier course is a challenge to every golfer teeing off at the wonderful 1st hole and moving round the rolling contours of the course. The wildlife on the course is breathtaking with foxes, squirrels, deer, water fowl, ducks and buzzards, as well as many other interesting species scampering around. With over 100 species of tree within the perimeter it is no wonder people remember their visit long after they have gone away.

There are a wide variety of challenges at Downfield with some water in play on no fewer than 7 holes. There are 5 par fives, from the championship tees and the 11th is one of the finest you will ever see. It is the hole which Pierre Fulke birdied in an 8 man play-off at the Open Qualifying in 1999. Since then this very talented, and very amiable Swedish golfer has gone from strength to strength, he will be a welcome addition to the Ryder Cup team in 2001.

The course was designed by C.K.Cotton but was altered from it original layout in 1964. The alterations were designed mainly by the late Mr.Jack Scrimgeour, a member of the club, and what an incredible job he did. Downfield is in-debted to him for his tremendous ideas and hard work.

Although it has been described by many as one of Britains premier inland course it has never been fully recognised and is still a hidden gem. This is one course not to be missed.
