Cally Palace, a private course that can only be played by the residents of the hotel, is the work of well-known golf architect Tom Macaulay and opened in 1994.

The course is usually empty as there are no members and no competitions - it is solely for the use of the guests. Sculpted into the parkland surrounding the hotel, its maturity belies its age, achieved by using the natural contours of the land and the magnificent trees, the hidden burns and the Cally Lake.

There are wonderful views of Cardoness Castle, Rutherford's Monument and the Fleet Estuary.
