Frequently Asked Questions

What makes North Inch Golf Course a unique place to play golf in Scotland?

You're stepping onto one of the oldest continuously played municipal courses in the world here, right in the heart of Perth. It's not about championship length; it's about the pure joy of the game in a historic parkland setting, with the River Tay flowing alongside. We love that you can feel the centuries of golf history with every swing.

What kind of golf experience should I expect at North Inch, and is it suitable for beginners?

Expect a relaxed, enjoyable round on a relatively flat, well-maintained parkland course. It's perfect for all skill levels, especially if you're looking for a pleasant walk and a chance to practice your iron play without the pressure of a championship layout. We think it's an ideal spot to introduce new players to the game or enjoy a casual round.

How much does it cost to play North Inch Golf Course, and is it good value?

As a municipal course, North Inch offers exceptional value for money, especially compared to some of Scotland's more famous links. You'll find green fees are very reasonable, making it an accessible option for a historic round without breaking the bank. We always recommend it for golfers seeking an authentic Scottish experience on a budget.

When is the best time to visit North Inch Golf Course, and do I need to book a tee time in advance?

We recommend visiting between May and September for the best chance of dry weather and longer daylight hours, though you can play year-round. While booking ahead is always wise, especially on weekends, you can often walk-on during quieter weekdays. It's very accessible, being right in the city.

What are the highlights of playing North Inch, beyond just the golf itself?

The setting is truly special - you're playing golf in a beautiful public park with stunning views of the River Tay and Perth's city skyline. We particularly enjoy the feeling of being so close to urban life yet completely immersed in your game. After your round, you're perfectly placed to explore Perth's historic sites and vibrant cafes.
