I can’t believe it’s almost seven years since I last visited this place but doesn’t time fly by when you’re having fun? Playing Pitlochry was a means of breaking up a journey from Glasgow to Dornoch and I’m glad our group availed itself of the special Sunday 4-ball and carvery offer as it was exceptional value for money.

The course was in reasonable condition for the time of the year and allowances must really be made for the general bad weather that’s prevailed over the winter, even though

I’m sure less tolerant golfers could easily have complained about the very bumpy state of the (cored) greens. Nonetheless, it was a delight to return to a course that’s managed yet again to retain its place within the Scottish Top 100 chart.

I was told that the midweek Open deals on a Wednesday were very popular last season and I can understand why when a round of golf on this charming little course and an all-you-can-eat curry buffet in the clubhouse costs all of 22 quid – fill yer boots is what I say !!
