Golf Courses :: Blairgowrie Golf Course

Rosemont,
Blairgowrie,
Perth & Kinross
Scotland

With the influence of Dr Alistair Mackenzie and James Braid, the Rosemount course at Blairgowrie has developed into a wonderful highland course and is worthy of a visit by any golfer travelling through the north of Scotland. It is a course designed for good golfers to test their skills upon, but is not too difficult for the golfer of average ability. At over 6,500 yards, it is no mean test of golf and each hole has different characteristics with beautiful surrounds and tree lined fairways.

A round of the Rosemount course is a memorable affair, but amongst some great holes I found the closing four-hole sequence of two par threes and two par fours particularly enjoyable. The 15th hole is the innocuous sounding "Wee Dunt", so called due to the fact that it measures only 129 yards from the medal tees. Its length however betrays what is in fact a difficult hole with a particularly nasty bunker to the right of the green and trees just beyond ensuring that one's tee shot is far from simple and that those who miss the green will have a difficult job making a par.
