Honest & Short sample itinerary

It is a little-known fact one in every five courses in Scotland are made up of only nine holes. Going back generations, these short-form layouts were at the heart of villages and town, the lifeblood of the community where people could gather and enjoy a game for all levels of ability. That remains true today across the rich tapestry of Scottish golf’s cloth.

Have you ever thought about taking a 9-hole golf course tour of Scotland? Or perhaps parts of it? Well, let us break it down into some mini tours and give you a sample. Lets get things started in the heart of Scotland with a trip to Perthshire.

DAY 1

Check into Murrayshall hotel just outside Perth. Afternoon tee time on Murrayshall 10 hole Lynedoch course. A tree lined course set in the hills overlooking Perthshire.

DAY 2

Tee time at Comrie Golf Club, a charming little 9 hole set in the Perthshire hills. Clubhouse not open? Fear not, simply pop your green fee in the honesty box. Afternoon round at St Fillans Golf Club, Sandy Lyles home course!

DAY 3

Tee time at Crieff Golf Clubs Dornock Course. Partly designed by none other than James Braid. It’s a fantastic 9 holer.
