Club captain Ricky Bailey said it would host a four-person ambrose on Saturday as part of the town’s Robert Burns Scottish Festival.
Bailey said the golf course had returned to full capacity after three of its holes were damaged in the fires.
“The whole golf course is back open again – (it happened) Saturday week ago,” he said.
“We weren’t using three holes for that time – the seventh, eighth and ninth.”
Bailey said the club had received welcome support from the south-west community and was hoping for a strong turnout for its four-person ambrose.
He said a prizes and a major raffle were on offer.
“There are prizes for the best dressed – because it’s a Scottish festival if you come in a kilt you’re a chance to win another bottle of scotch,” Bailey said.
“It will be a good, fun day with people from neighbouring towns.”
Players will arrive at 11.30am for a 12pm shotgun start.
