30 minutes north of Dundee and Perth, there are 5 golf courses just waiting for you to come and test your skill. Again, all ideally placed for you to remain in one base for the duration and not travel more than 30 minutes between each golf course.
Start your golfing experience with a visit to Forfar Golf Club. The ground that supports Forfar Golf Club was used in the last century to dry long dreels of flax that have left links like bumps. Established in 1871, it is a parkland course with wooded, undulating fairways and fine views of the surrounding hills.
From Forfar, travel north west on the A926 to the small village of Kirriemuir, birthplace of J M Barrie, author of Peter Pan. Kirriemuir Golf Course is a heathland course with beautiful views of the Angus Glens. Designed by James Braid. The 17th is among the best Par 3 holes in the country.
Continue along the A926 to Alyth where you are in striking range of three excellent golf courses.
Glenisla is a relative newcomer to the home of golf. Glenisla is set amidst 180 acres of beautiful, undulating parkland in Perthshire and has been described as "presenting one of the best tests in the area." This course is a quality golfing venue which features over 40 bunkers and 5 water hazards, providing a superb challenge to golfers of all abilities.
Strathmore Golf Courses - Rannerloch & Leitfie are also relative newcomers to the Scottish scene. Rannerloch is an 18 hole course that offers a great test of golf whilst the Leitfie course (9 holes) is ideal as a warm-up or for those needing to put in a bit more practice before the final round.
Finish your stay on the beautiful James Braid designed Alyth Golf Course. With its new clubhouse, this well-established golf course is quite tight with a premium on accuracy rather than length. 9, 10 & 11 are long par 4's and a par 5 with tight tee shots. It's a great combination of heathland and parkland.
