Golf Breaks in the Scottish Borders: Stay & Play Packages at The County Hotel Selkirk

Looking for golf breaks in the Scottish Borders? Selkirk is one of the best bases you’ll find — a handful of genuinely different courses within a short drive of each other, and a historic coaching inn on the High Street with a warm bar, hearty food, and a bed waiting at the end of your round.

We’ve put together stay-and-play packages with four of the courses on our doorstep, so you can book your golf and your room in one place — and save the commission you’d otherwise hand to a booking site.

Why Selkirk Is a Golf Base Worth Choosing

The Scottish Borders doesn’t get the attention that St Andrews or the Highlands do, and that’s part of the appeal — quieter courses, friendly clubhouses, and green fees that won’t rival a links-golf mortgage payment. From The County Hotel, you’re within easy reach of heathland, parkland, and everything in between, all inside about a 20-minute drive.

Golf Breaks Scottish Borders: The Courses on Our Doorstep

Selkirk Golf Club — a nine-hole heathland course laid out on Selkirk Hill in 1924 by the noted architect Willie Park Jr. It’s a five-minute drive (or a stiff walk) from the hotel, with a genuinely testing layout — heather, gorse, and sharp elevation changes give you panoramic views over the Ettrick and Yarrow valleys in exchange for some wayward drives. Played off two tees, it stretches to a full 18-hole round.

Torwoodlee Golf Club — a parkland course near Galashiels, a short drive from Selkirk, offering a gentler test for golfers who want a more traditional round without sacrificing scenery.

Woll Golf Club — an 18-hole par-70 parkland course on the New Woll Estate between Hawick and Selkirk, regularly rated among the best-maintained courses in the Borders, with a strong clubhouse restaurant if you want to make a full day of it.

Galashiels Golf Club — another Borders parkland favourite, a little further afield but well worth the drive for golfers keen to play more than one course during their stay.

Stay & Play: Book Direct and Save

We’ve built simple stay-and-play packages around each of these courses — your room plus your round, booked together, direct with us:

• Selkirk Golf Club package
• Torwoodlee Golf Club package
• Woll Golf Club package
• Galashiels Golf Club package

You can see all four side by side on our Golf page. Booking direct means no third-party commission baked into your rate, and it means we know you’re here for golf — so we can point you toward tee times, transport, and the best spot in the bar for a pint after your round.

Make a Weekend of It

Selkirk itself is worth the extra day. After your round, the High Street is a two-minute walk from the clubhouse gates at Selkirk Golf Club, and our kitchen serves Scottish and Mediterranean-leaning dishes built for exactly this kind of appetite. If you’re bringing a group, ask us about arranging tables for a full outing — we regularly host golf societies and can help with transport between courses if you’re playing more than one during your stay.
