What is recorded here
Rutherford Castle Golf Club operated from 1998 to 2015 in the Scottish Borders, marking a brief chapter when castle grounds served golf rather than history alone. The precise coordinates still exist, but the course disappeared before many people remembered it. Forgetting is common in small places, yet the dates prove the swing happened.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Rutherford Castle Golf Club as Golf Course (20th Century) (1998)-(2015). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
