Pitlochry Golf Club, home to a pleasant tree-lined and open parkland layout, is located on the edge of the Tay Forest, a 30-minute drive north of the city of Perth. At just over 5,600 yards from the back tees, Pitlochry is too short to be described as a championship layout.
Although length maybe lacking, golfing challenges and stunning highland scenery is here in abundance, especially after you've "scaled" the initial five-hole ascent to the layout's higher level.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Located eight miles to the northwest of Pitlochry Golf Club is the small town of Blair Atholl, and one of Scotland's premier stately homes ... Blair Castle. This fabulous Scottish baronial castle, most of which dates from the 1500s, is the ancestral home of the Clan Murray, and their clan chief, the Duke of Atholl.
Scotland's 93rd best course (Golf World, 2024).
