The courses of The Blairgowrie Golf Club are virtually unique and have that wonderful charm found at very few courses where each hole is unaffected and untouched by another.

The combination of Heathland and Woodland provides each hole with a peace and tranquillity completely unspoilt by preceding or following games. The pine, silver birch and heather lined fairways provide a natural habitat to be enjoyed not just by the golfers, but shared with the exquisite wildlife, which includes deer and red squirrels, woodpeckers and oyster catchers to name but a few.

Rosemount Course Described by Tom Morris as, “The most beautiful inland green I have ever seen”, the Rosemount course certainly lives up to its reputation. Designed by James Braid with influences from Dr. Alistair McKenzie, the renowned architect of the Augusta National course, Rosemount has played host to a number of prestigious professional and amateur tournaments. It was the scene of Greg Norman’s first European Tour victory in the 1977 Martini event. Rosemount was voted 11th best course to play in Scotland by the readers of Scotland’s premier golf magazine.

The Lansdowne course is more modern than the Rosemount course in layout, and offers a more challenging test. It was designed by the respected partnership of Peter Allis and Dave Thomas and was officially opened in 1979. Also set in avenues of pine and silver birch, most fairways are lined with heather, and the course provides a challenging but pleasurable test for all levels of golfer. Wee Course The Wee Course formed part of the original layout designed by Dr. Alistair McKenzie of Augusta National and Cypress Point fame. The nine hole layout is heathland in character comprising 4 par 3’s and 5 par 4’s and provides a delightful and charming contrast to Rosemount and Lansdowne.
