Nine holes £12

A traditional scenic golf course found in the Perth and Kinross countryside, it’s an undulating inland course with lush fairways and impressive greens. The club has added new tees to three of the holes to give more variety and, although accuracy is placed at a premium, it is a forgiving course with room  for the odd wayward shot.

ROTHES

Opened in 1990, Rothes Golf Club is found in the heart of the Spey Valley on the famous Whisky Trail. Perfect for combining the two, it’s built on parkland and its fairways are tree-lined as the Spey Valley lies in the distance, offering fantastic panoramic views.
