Central Scotland – BLAIRGOWRIE – 6590 – Par 72

Blairgowrie Golf Club’s Rosemount Course is one of Scotland’s finest inland tracts, consisting mainly of trim avenues of luxurious green set amid pine, birch and heather. It is pristine and well-ordered in every way and yet there remains a strong sense of the natural topography of this area.

The most memorable holes are the closing with the 16th being one of those psychological quandaries, slightly uphill, out of bounds down the left and a stand of trees in the middle, driveable distance. On the outer limits of a par four, it needs a good tee shot to play this hole effectively. The 17th is a par three playing over a wide gully to a fine, two-tiered green. The 18th is a superb driving hole with most danger coming from the copse of trees on the right. There are yawning cross-bunkers ahead of the green but these should not come into play if you have driven well.
