Tayside

Tayside (a combined ranking of Perth & Kinross plus Angus & Dundee’s Scotland Top 100 Golf Courses) occupies a pivotal position in the story of Scottish golf. Records confirm that the game was played at Carnoustie as early as 1527 and at Montrose from 1562, making this region one of the sport’s birthplaces as we know it. That lineage of greatness continues today, with Tayside offering the rare distinction of boasting world-class golf at both ends of the spectrum — landlocked moorland magnificence in Perth & Kinross and exposed seaside links drama along the Angus & Dundee coastline. The ranking was updated in March 2026.
