BLAIRGOWRIE GOLF CLUB
🏴 Blairgowrie, Perth and Kinross, Scotland
Designed by Alister Mackenzie
Rosemount stands as the original and more celebrated of Blairgowrie Golf Club's two championship courses, designed by Alister MacKenzie and opened in 1934. The course occupies gently rolling terrain within a mature pine and silver birch forest in the Perthshire countryside, creating natural corridors and a sense of seclusion uncommon in Scottish golf. MacKenzie routed the layout to take advantage of the sandy, free-draining soil that allows year-round play, a significant consideration in this inland setting roughly fifteen miles north of Perth.
The design features MacKenzie's characteristic strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward thoughtful approach play. Heather lines many fairways, adding definition and penalty for wayward shots, while the tree-framed holes provide clear visual direction without feeling overly confined. The course measures over 6,600 yards from the back tees and presents a balanced test with several strong par fours and a varied set of shorter holes. The closing stretch includes a notable par-three seventeenth played across heather to a well-protected green.
Rosemount has hosted numerous Scottish national championships and regional amateur events over the decades, establishing its reputation as one of Scotland's finest inland courses. Blairgowrie Golf Club maintains a traditional members' club atmosphere, and the clubhouse overlooks both Rosemount and the companion Lansdowne course. The setting combines accessibility from major Scottish cities with the tranquility of the Highland fringe landscape.
