PERTHSHIRE
Situated in the heart of Scotland, Perthshire offers a mix of the finest inland golf in the country. The five-star Gleneagles resort is regarded the world over, offering three championship courses and the only European venue to host both the Ryder and Solheim Cup.
Blairgowrie, Crieff, Murrayshall, Pitlochry and Strathmore are firm favourites, while the region is home to no fewer than seventeen 9-hole courses, with Comrie, St Fillans and the Wee Course at Blairgowrie all a delight.
