| Jedburgh Golf Course | 
|

An undulating parkland / Hill course with lovely views set in mature woodlands on a hill known as the Dunion. The greens are small but very tricky and most are well protected by bunkers.
The 7th hole is the feature hole a short par 4 of only 417 yards but it is surrounded by bunkers. The clubhouse has the usual facilities and a large lounge overlooking the last green. Midweek booking is not necessary but it is advisable at weekends. Meals are readily available without having to pre-book. Kelso is only 11 miles away and the Woll 18 miles with Galashiels a further 15 miles to the north. In the town the Visitor Centre portrays its turbulent past. In 1566 Mary Queen of Scots stayed in Jedburgh in a house that now tells the story of her tragic life. Winner of the country town prize in Beautiful Scotland in Bloom, Jedburgh today offers an attractive setting to follow the town trail. You can also take a riverside walk or browse amongst the shops in the colourful historic buildings in the Market Place and Canongate.
Focal point of the local calendar is the Jethart Callant Festival in early July when the Callant leads his mounted supporters in two weeks of ceremonial rideouts to places linked with the town's history. Festival Day is followed by the Jedburgh Border Games. Just South of the town is the award winning Jedforest Deer and Farm Park, whilst at the 16th century Ferniehirst Castle, the grounds and Kerr Information Centre are open to visitors on a limited basis. Near Ancrum to the north lies Monteviot House Gardens on the banks of the river, and Harestanes Countryside Visitor Centre offering indoor and outdoor activities.
Visitors to the town can enjoy free parking; local publications include a Town Plan, mini-guide, town trail and countryside walks. Places of interest include Ferniehirst Castle, Jedburgh Abbey, Jedburgh Castle Jail and Museum, Mary Queen of Scots House, Monteviot House Gardens, Harestanes Countryside Visitor Centre, Jedforest Deer and Farm Park, Jedburgh Golf Club (9 hole) and the Mounthooly Golf Driving Range.
