Blairgowrie Golf Club

Blairgowrie Golf Club, in Perth and Kinross, is regarded as one of Scotland's leading heathland venues, offering two full championship courses laid out through stands of pine and silver birch. The tree cover gives the layout a distinctive feel compared with the area's more open parkland courses, while heather framing the fairways adds further character and a genuine test of accuracy from the tee. Blairgowrie itself sits in eastern Perthshire, on the edge of Strathmore and within reach of the Angus glens, an area long associated with quality golf on sandy, free-draining soil that heathland courses typically favour. The club's two courses give members and visitors a choice of layouts within the same grounds, allowing repeat visits without repeating the same round. This combination of heathland ground, mature woodland and heather has helped establish the club's reputation among golfers travelling through Perthshire specifically to play courses of this type, rather than the more common parkland or links alternatives found elsewhere in the county. The setting, on the fringes of the town, keeps the course within easy reach of Blairgowrie's amenities while retaining the quieter, wooded feel associated with heathland golf in Scotland.
