About this course

Craigie Hill Golf Club sits on elevated ground overlooking Perth and the Tay Valley in central Scotland. The course was laid out by Willie Fernie, a notable late-Victorian professional and course designer who won the Open Championship in 1883 and shaped several Scottish layouts during his career. Joe Anderson, a respected Scottish greenkeeper and designer active in the early twentieth century, later contributed modifications to the routing. The terrain occupies a hillside site that provides natural elevation changes and views across the surrounding Perthshire landscape. The routing works with the contours of the land, incorporating slopes and undulations that characterize parkland courses built on sloping ground in this region. The layout requires golfers to manage uphill and downhill lies, and the elevated position exposes play to prevailing winds that can influence club selection and strategy. Craigie Hill serves as a members' club with a traditional Scottish golf culture, offering year-round play in a setting that reflects the parkland character common to courses in the Perth area. The club maintains its course as a straightforward test suited to golfers of varying abilities, with the natural topography providing much of the challenge. The course remains a local fixture in a region with a deep golfing heritage, situated near other established clubs and within reach of the historic courses of Fife and the eastern Highlands.

Getting there

Craigie Hill Golf Club sits in the rolling countryside north of Perth, most easily reached via Edinburgh Airport (EDI), roughly ninety minutes south by car through the gentle Perthshire landscape, or via Glasgow Airport (GLA) for those approaching from the west. The drive north from Edinburgh carries you through the transition from lowland motorway to the quieter A9, where the terrain gradually rises and softens into the moorland character that defines this corner of Scotland. Private aviation options exist at Scone Airport, just minutes from the club's gates, offering a more discreet arrival for those seeking it. The final miles unfold through farmland and heather-touched hills, arriving at a course that feels both intimately rooted in its Scottish setting and refreshingly removed from the busier golfing corridors of the east coast.
