Comrie Golf Club

About this course
Comrie Golf Club, cradled in the shadow of the Perthshire Highlands, boasts a course that, while not vying for major championship status, possesses a charm woven deeply into the fabric of the Scottish golfing landscape. The alternate tees provide a subtly different experience, one that seasoned members often favor for a fresh perspective on this classic heathland layout. Originally shaped in the early 20th century, the course reflects a traditional approach to design. The terrain, a tapestry of gorse and heather, demands strategic thinking rather than brute force. While not exceptionally long, the course’s undulating fairways and well-placed bunkers can punish a careless approach. The prevailing winds, often swirling down from the surrounding hills, add another layer of complexity, rewarding golfers who can master the art of trajectory control. Though never a stop on any major tours, Comrie has been a beloved fixture in local amateur competitions for decades. The club’s reputation, more than anything, rests on its welcoming atmosphere and the unwavering dedication of its members. Stories abound of friendly rivalries and impromptu matches settled over a pint in the clubhouse, a testament to the enduring spirit of camaraderie that defines Comrie Golf Club. The clubhouse is not known for a certain culinary dish, however, the members often take pride in cooking traditional Scottish meals for guests, fostering a warm and inviting experience.

Getting there
The journey to Comrie Golf Club begins at Edinburgh Airport, roughly an hour and a quarter northwest through the fertile heart of Perthshire. The route traces the A9 before peeling west along narrower roads that follow the River Earn into the Highland Boundary Fault, where the Lowlands yield to the first dramatic folds of the Highlands. As you enter the Victorian spa village of Comrie itself, the landscape tightens into a wooded glen ringed by heather-clad hills, and the clubhouse emerges quietly above the town - a modest, welcoming threshold to one of Scotland's most beautifully situated inland courses.
