Downfield
Downfield is recognised as one of
the finest inland course in the United Kingdom.
It has played host to many events over its long
history. In the past tournaments like the S.P.G.A.
Masters, Scottish Boys Stroke Play, P.G.A. Scottish
Open, Scottish Amateur, British Girls Home Internationals,
but it was the great honour of being a Final Qualifying
venue for the Open Championship at Carnoustie in
1999, that has put Downfield Golf Club rightly,
near the top of the tree as a golfing destination.
Downfield has already been asked to host Final Open
Qualifying in 2007.
The course
is considered a challenge to all abilities with a Par
70 (CSS 71) from the yellow tees, Par 73 (CSS 73) from
the medal/championship tees and 75 from the ladies red
tees. Set in stunning parkland, it is a golfing experience
everyone should try. For any visitors there is a special
Blue Course which is a Par 72 over 6500yards to extend
the better player.
