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.
