The region is a golfer’s delight with a range of famous courses to choose from and Moffat’s own golf club, is about one mile west of town. The 18-hole, 5218-yards parkland and heathland course was established in 1884 and boasts some truly magnificent views as well as testing holes for golfers of all abilities. |
