Perth & Kinross

Perth & Kinross is a land locked region so there’s no links golf played here. Instead, there are some wonderful tracts of moorland, heathland and parkland terrain to be found and it’s on some of these prime sites where top tracks like the three 18-hole layouts at Gleneagles or the two 18-hole courses at Blairgowrie have been laid out. Around forty golf clubs and societies come under the auspices of Perth & Kinross County Golf Union and many of these clubs operate from little 9-hole courses tucked away in the glens of the Perthshire hills. There are more than a dozen of these wee charmers dotted around the area and it’s worth taking the time and trouble to turn off the beaten track now and then to discover these hidden gems. Our Perth & Kinross Best in Region rankings were last updated in November 2019.

  1. Gleneagles (King's)

    Perth & Kinross, United Kingdom

    Gleneagles is the perfect setting for a game of golf and the King’s course is surely the best moorland track in the world.

  2. Gleneagles (Queen's)

    Perth & Kinross, United Kingdom

  5. Blairgowrie Golf Club (Lansdowne)

    Perth & Kinross, United Kingdom

    The Lansdowne course at Blairgowrie Golf Club is routed through swathes of pine and silver birch trees which put a premium on accuracy off the tee.

  6. Alyth

    Perth & Kinross, United Kingdom

    Alyth Golf Club, in the Vale of Strathmore, is a little off the main Scottish golfing tracks, but is well worth the deviation away from other more well known courses.

  7. Auchterarder
