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 99th best course (Golf World, 2025).
Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises.
