Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play Crieff Golf Club, and what should I expect from the Scottish weather?

You'll find Crieff at its most glorious from late spring through early autumn, typically May to September. Expect lush fairways and vibrant views, though always pack layers - a sunny morning can quickly turn into a breezy, showery afternoon. We recommend booking early for peak summer weekends.

Crieff has two courses; which one should I play, and what's the main difference?

You'll definitely want to tackle the Ferntower course, the championship layout, which offers a proper test with its undulating terrain and strategic bunkering. The Dornock is a shorter, more forgiving nine-hole option, perfect for a quick warm-up or if you're introducing someone new to the game. We always recommend playing Ferntower for the full Crieff experience.

What are Crieff's standout holes or unique features that make it memorable?

You'll definitely remember the panoramic views from the elevated tees, especially on holes like the 6th and 13th on Ferntower, where the Strathearn valley unfolds beneath you. The course truly rewards thoughtful shot-making over brute force, with its clever doglegs and well-protected greens demanding your attention. It's a classic parkland layout that uses its natural contours beautifully.

Is Crieff Golf Club good value for money compared to other Scottish courses?

Absolutely, you'll find Crieff offers excellent value, especially when you consider the quality of the championship Ferntower course and its stunning setting. While not as famous as some coastal links, the green fees are significantly more accessible, making it a fantastic option for a high-quality round without breaking the bank. We think it's one of the best inland golf experiences in Perthshire for the price.

What's the post-round experience like at Crieff Golf Club?

After your round, you'll appreciate the friendly, welcoming atmosphere in the clubhouse. It's a comfortable spot to grab a well-deserved pint and some classic Scottish fare, all while soaking in more of those beautiful valley views from the lounge. We always enjoy recounting our shots over a hearty meal there - it's a proper golfer's retreat.
