Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the absolute must-play courses in Perth and Kinross, and what should I expect?

You absolutely have to experience Gleneagles - the King's and Queen's courses are timeless classics, demanding precision and offering incredible views. Don't overlook Blairgowrie's Rosemount either; it's a beautiful, challenging heathland gem that often gets overshadowed but delivers a fantastic round. Expect pristine conditions and a true test of your game at these top-tier venues.

When is the best time to visit Perth and Kinross for a golf trip, and what's the weather like?

We recommend late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) for the best balance of weather and fewer crowds. You'll find the courses in prime condition, and while Scottish weather is always a gamble, these months offer longer daylight hours and generally milder temperatures. Pack layers, as a sunny morning can quickly turn into a breezy afternoon.

Are there any great value or hidden gem courses in Perth and Kinross that I shouldn't miss?

Absolutely, look beyond Gleneagles for some fantastic, more affordable golf. Pitlochry Golf Club offers stunning panoramic views and a fun, quirky layout that's a joy to play, while Crieff Golf Club provides two excellent courses with a welcoming atmosphere. These clubs give you a genuine taste of Scottish golf without the premium price tag.

What's the overall vibe of a golf trip to Perth and Kinross, and what else can I do besides golf?

The vibe here is one of refined Scottish charm, surrounded by breathtaking Highland scenery rather than coastal links. Beyond the fairways, you can explore historic castles like Scone Palace, enjoy whisky tastings at local distilleries, or hike through the stunning Tay Forest Park. It's a region that perfectly blends world-class golf with cultural and natural beauty.

How easy is it to get around Perth and Kinross for a golf trip, and where should I consider staying?

Renting a car is essential for maximizing your golf trip here, as courses are spread out and public transport can be limited. We suggest basing yourself in Perth or near Gleneagles for easy access to a variety of courses and amenities. You'll find everything from luxury resorts to charming guesthouses, so book ahead, especially during peak season.
