If you golf, then choose your holiday location in the east of Perthshire and you’ll certainly find you’re in the centre of things. Great inland courses are easy to find, though it’s also easy to reach the coast to test your skill against the sea breezes with some classic Scottish links golf.

Famous courses nearby certainly include the developments at Gleneagles, with the PGA Centenary Course scheduled for the 2014 Ryder Cup. Carnoustie is another high-profile course, its very challenging links setting well-known as an Open Championship venue.  Almost as easy to reach from East Perthshire, St Andrews – staging the Open in 2010 – is perhaps the most famous of all, though there is a huge golfing choice in the neighbouring counties.

However, golf in Perthshire is certainly not all about high profile courses, but making the most of the sheer variety within easy reach. At Rosemount, Blairgowrie, for instance, you’ll really enjoy the individuality of the design of the holes cut through the woodlands. Then there is the novelty of playing in one of Britain’s very highest courses, set amid spectacular mountain scenery at Dalmunzie by Glenshee. Wherever you go, you’re sure of a friendly welcome.
