Thornhill is a picturesque village in Mid Nithsdale, Dumfries & Galloway. The golf club was established in 1893 as a 9 hole course and extended to 18 holes in 1979.

The course is a mixture of park and heathland with magnificent panoramic views which are equal to any in Scotland. It has been often described as a "hidden gem".

"Thornhill has shown real and steady growth over the past 10 years; due to planned greenkeeping practices. It is now regarded as one of the best conditioned and presented golf courses in the South West of Scotland.
Thornhill offers real golf in wonderfully natural surroundings - a real joy to play"

At 6085 yards, over relatively level terrain the course provides a good test for all golfers and is friendly to those of mature years.

The Club has a fine record in amateur competition, boasting honours in national team and single events. Several members have gone on to enjoy successful professional careers, the most notable being Andrew Coltart.
