Blairgowrie and Rosemount Golf Club
Featuring two of Scotland’s best golf courses, Blairgowrie Golf Club is the ideal place for golfing enthusiasts in Perthshire. With two 18-hole courses that have hosted both professional and amateur events, including the Scottish Amateur Championship and the Junior Ryder Cup, along with a beautiful clubhouse and pro shop.
The older Rosemount course is popular and hosted the Junior Ryder Cup in 2014. It has also previously hosted European Tour events, with the legendary Australian Greg Norman getting his first win on the tour in 1977 at Rosemount.
The course was designed by James Braid with influences from Dr Alister MacKenzie, renowned for his work as an architect on the infamous Augusta National Golf Course. The course is less narrow than its sibling Lansdowne, with larger greens giving the golfer an enjoyable test.
The newer Lansdowne course was officially opened in 1979, and has hosted both the Scottish Amateur Championship in 2013 and the PGA Championship final a year later. A championship course, it tests each player’s ability with narrow fairways surrounded by pine and silver birch trees, and smaller greens than Rosemount.
Alongside the two 18-hole courses, Blairgowrie Golf Club also has ‘the Wee Course’ – a 9-hole mixture of Par 3 and Par 4s ideal as a warm-up for Rosemount or Lansdowne or for those who are just starting out in the game.
