Auchterarder at Auchterarder Golf Club

Auchterarder Golf Club sits in the Perthshire town of Auchterarder, positioned between Perth and Crieff in the heart of Scotland. The course was designed by Ben Sayers, the noted professional golfer and clubmaker from North Berwick who laid out numerous Scottish courses in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Sayers brought his understanding of traditional Scottish golf design to this inland setting, creating a layout that reflects the rolling terrain characteristic of this part of Perthshire.

The course occupies elevated ground with views across Strathearn toward the surrounding hills. The routing works with the natural contours of the land, featuring the kind of undulating fairways and greens typical of courses from this era. Players encounter a mix of holes that demand accuracy and course management rather than overwhelming length, consistent with the design philosophy of Sayers' generation.

Auchterarder Golf Club serves the local community and visitors exploring Perthshire's golf offerings. The town itself lies along the main route between Edinburgh and the Highlands, making the course accessible to those traveling through the region. The club maintains the traditions of Scottish members' clubs while welcoming visitors who seek golf in a quieter, less tourist-focused setting than Scotland's more famous coastal links venues.
