Alyth – Strathmore Golf Centre Just two miles from the hotel. the natural contours and established trees belie the fact that this course was established only a few years ago. Fast gaining in popularity with the discerning golfer. Alyth Golf Course A
mere mile from the hotel. this hidden gem designed
by james braid lies directly in front of the hotel. an immaculately
maintained
moorland course with some deceptively awkward holes. At least one round
here is a must. Alyth - Glenisla Golf Course Only one mile from the
hotel. set in the rolling, countryside
of strathmore, glenisla’s natural contours and open fairways encourage
the best from its visitors. designed to offer a challenge to the more serioius
golfer off the back tees, the club golfer will find forgiveness for all but the
most wayward of shots from the forward tees Blairgowrie (5 miles) There are two
18 hole courses and one 9 hole course in Blairgowrie. Rosemount, being the
older, more celebrated championship course,
Landsdowne, a fairly recent addition to the area, designed by Peter Allis
and Dave Thomas and the 9 hole “wee course”. Golf here
is played over beautiful moorland fairways, shielded by silver birches,
larches and pine. Carnoustie Championship Course (25 miles) The venue of the 1995 Scottish Open and the 1999 British Open. A
stern test indeed, especially the high
winds!
This exposed links course offers the ultimate challenge for the really
adventurous. More water hazards and trees than you would expect on
a links course. Downfield (16 miles) "One of the finest inland courses anywhere" according
to Peter Thomson. This modern course is both tough and long, heavily
wooded and undulating. Edzell (33 miles) Although a fair distance from the hotel, this course comes
with a strong recommendation. Superbly situated at the foot of the
grampians, the heathland
course is a true delight. Not a long course, but an interesting one
offering remarkable value. Well worth the journey. Forfar (13 miles) A good undulating heathland
course that is regularly raved about by our guests. An enjoyable course
for the beginner and
scratch golfer
alike. Monifieth Medal (15 miles) This is a
mucipipal course, always in excellent condition, previously used in
the qualifing rounds of open
championships
at Carnoustie and
St. Andrews. Being a links course with an easterly position, means
that, like Carnoustie, things can be pretty bleak, several pine plantations,
however, act as a windsbreaks as well as seperating the fairways.
