Boundary With Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club
The Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club is the only golf club in Dumfries on the Maxwelltown side of the River Nith. It is the area around the 2nd and 5th holes and the 6th tee on the course that partially hem in Summerhill. The 2nd and the 5th are the only par 5 holes of the 18 on the course. Golf Avenue is the longer and older of the 2 streets in Summerhill adjacent to the golf course. Golfers playing the par 4 6th are required to negotiate a burn (small stream) that runs most of the length of the hole. The burn eventually runs into the nearby Cargen Pow, a tributary of the Nith.
