Portpatrick Golf Club is situated in South West Scotland overlooking the North Channel to Ireland, the area enjoys a temperate climate due to the Gulf Stream and Golf is playable all year round. The Club is renowned for its friendly welcome to visitors. One of Portpatrick's well-kept secrets is the excellent 9 hole Par 3 Dinvin Course, which is maintained to the same high standards as the 18 hole Dunskey Course. Taking about an hour to play it is ideal for the golfer looking for a quick bit of exercise or for the beginner who does not feel up to the rigours of 18 holes.
