Strathtay Golf Club

Many towns in Scotland, even the small ones have their own golf course. Fewer still have a golf course that can lay claim to being one of the best in the region. However that’s just what the residents of Strathtay have on their back door step, and its something that this tiny village cherishes dearly.

Founded in 1909 by Captain John Malcolm, Strathtay encompasses everything that is great about Scottish golf and scenery. Set in the heart of the Perthshire countryside, Strathtay is a majestic inland course with some epic views of the Perthshire hillside.

It may only be 9-holes long but with two different tee shots for each hole it plays like a full 18, with each tee offering a different shade to each hole.

Highlights include the par-3 third, so named the Copse for its unique layout and difficulty. Indeed the unwary visitor could be forgiven the question as to where lies the green? It shelters subtly behind a massive group of oak trees.

With variety like this Strathtay is a fantastic opportunity for anyone to brush up on their game in an exciting setting that will ensure repeat visits as you strive to conquer its unique layout.
