Perthshire
is home to some of the finest inland golf courses in the world and
with 40 to choose from
you'll be spoilt for choice!
Perthshire
has a long golfing legacy, indeed it is ironic that James IV of
Scotland, who tried to ban the game as it conflicted with archery
practice, made the first recorded purchase of golfing equipment
- a set of clubs from a Bow Maker in Perth in 1502!
This
golfing heritage and recent course developments ensures that there
is a wide range of options for golfers of all ages and abilities.
Choose from scenic Highland layouts, idyllic parkland settings,
world famous centres such as Gleneagles and Rosemount at Blairgowrie
and many 'hidden gems' spread throughout the area. The main challenge
won't be navigating your way successfully around the course, more
keeping your eye on the ball amidst such stunning surroundings.
Perthshire
is also an excellent golfing holiday base as there are over 60 further
courses in surrounding Angus, Dundee and the Kingdom of Fife including
St. Andrews and Carnoustie, all of which are within one hour's drive.
The accommodation service from our Tourist Information Centres can
suggest the perfect place to relax for your next golf holiday or
short break!
