About this course

Glenisla is the parkland course at Alyth Golf Club, situated in the Perthshire town of Alyth at the edge of the Scottish Highlands. The club also operates the shorter Strathmore course on the same property. Tony Wardle designed Glenisla, which opened in the 1990s as an expansion of the club's facilities. The course occupies gently rolling terrain with mature woodland framing many holes, characteristic of inland Perthshire golf. The layout takes advantage of the natural contours and tree cover, offering a traditional parkland test with strategic bunkering and well-defined fairways. Water features come into play on several holes, adding variety to the challenge. The routing moves through a mix of open and tree-lined corridors, requiring accuracy from the tee and thoughtful approach play to greens that are typically well-protected. Alyth Golf Club has a long history in the area, with golf played on the site since the late nineteenth century, though Glenisla represents the modern championship-length course. The club serves both local members and visitors exploring Perthshire's golf offerings, which include nearby courses at Blairgowrie and Rosemount. The setting provides views toward the Grampian foothills, and the course benefits from good drainage that allows for year-round play in most conditions. Glenisla offers a solid parkland experience in a region better known for its heathland courses, providing an alternative character within the local golf landscape.

Getting there

Most visitors to Alyth Golf Club arrive via Edinburgh Airport, roughly ninety minutes south by car, though Glasgow and Aberdeen both serve as viable gateways depending on your routing. The drive north from Edinburgh traces the M90 across the Firth of Forth, then peels inland through Perthshire's rolling farmland and into the foothills of the Grampians, the landscape gradually gaining elevation and drama. As you approach the market town of Alyth itself, the road narrows and the hedgerows close in, delivering you to a clubhouse perched on the southern edge of Strathmore - a quiet, unpretentious arrival befitting one of Scotland's oldest and most enduring inland courses.
