DESTINATION GOLF SCOTLAND 2025

Blairgowrie ( Landsdowne )

The Rosemount course at Blairgowrie typically earns the bragging rights over its Landsdowne sibling , but that means little when you get stuck into this stern test of parkland / heathland golf . Not surprisingly there are similarities with the avenues of pine and silver birch ever present , but fairways here are tighter and the greens smaller . Designed by Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas , in 1979 , accuracy is essential on a mostly level landscape where holes curve gently through the trees . It bumps up against the Rosemount from time to time but with its air of seclusion you barely notice . One other thing these two courses have in common is a challenging finish . The par four 15th is a long Index 1 , with the par five 17th weighing in at Index 5 . Go left or right on either and watch a good score evaporate .
DID YOU KNOW ?
The Landsdowne will host the Tartan Pro Tour in May 2025 . It is one of 14 Scottish venues hosting the popular tournament .
