This course I found to be a very fair challenge and the fairways are certainly wide enough. However there are a lot of trees lining the fairways and plenty of large well-positioned bunkers to catch stray shots. The greens are large and pretty flat and although they were quite slow, they were in good condition , true , and perfectly consistent. I used every club in my bag at some time during the round and each hole is pretty well secluded and distinct. I was fortunate enough to play with a knowledgable member who kept me right with lines etc but there are only a couple of holes with blind shots.
The course was well laid-out and the variety and shape of the trees was amazing and set a beautiful scene.
A fine meal in the comfortable loung overlooking the putting green and manicured gardens topped off an excellent afternoon's entertainment. Pity my golf could not match the occasion!

I played this course some years ago and was keen to go back and see how it was. I was not disappointed. The coures is beautifully crafted on the natural contours of the land and although the greens were slow (I played at night) they were in perfect condition and very true.
A very enjoyable course.

Having passed the course and admired the natural beauty of the setting many times, I was really looking forward to my round. And it surpassed my expectations! This is not a hilly course but the undulating landscape adds significant interest to every hole and with the trees, heather and grasses of the rough and fairways make each hole a beautiful sight. The course architect has made a fantastic job of creating a golf course using the landscape available. The fairways are beautifully shaped and bunkers well-placed (as I found out to my cost!). The definition on most holes is superb. The greens are surprisingly large and offer a great challenge in the correct approach and once on the putting surface. But they are also very true and consistent.
There was a gents medal on the day we played and at some courses playing in front of members can be frowned upon. The Forfar members we met could not have been friendlier and offered us a few tips on lines etc.
Service and food in the clubhouse were superb. All staff friendly and attentive.
An excellent golf course and a great day out!

Set in a beautiful part of the Scottish highlands, this course is cleverly designed through trees and heather and although in the hills it is not too difficult terrain to master on foot. Like most Scottish courses of this vintage (1890) what it may lack in length it more than makes up for with interesting and clever holes and tricky but fair greens. This is not a 'grip it and rip it' course. It requires thought and guile to place your tee shot properly and to then work out your best approach to the greens. Failure to do this will cost you strokes! There are a variety of really interesting holes and my favourite was the par 3 eighth. A straight shot up the hill into the wind trying to find a beautiful saucer- like green shaped and surrounded by mounds and bunkers. Take a club more than you think!
A fine traditional clubhouse with friendly staff and good food made this an excellent golfing experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my day.
You may pass through Grantown on your way to its more illustrious neighbours on the Moray Coast, but I recommend you stop and play this one. You won't be disappointed.

The course was in superb condition and the wind made some holes a bit easier but others a lot tougher. This is a lovely flat course with great views of the Ochil Hills and Gleneagles. A great variety of holes and although there are 6 par 3s they are unique and interesting. If you manage them in 20 shots you will be on a good round!
Most of the greens are fairly small but they have some fantastic contours. Once you are on the 1st or 18th. You still have some work to do. Many of the holes are in open parkland with fine views but there are several which snake through the trees and offer quite a contrast.
The clubhouse is well-appointed and welcoming for visitors. Auchterarder's central location make it easy to access and is well worth a visit.

I had the pleasure of playing with local members - Jim, John and Craig - and I played a variety of white tees to see how the course shapes up for comps. Due to the local landscape, the course has some hills but this actually made for some very interesting holes and stunning views of Goat Fell and the Holy Isle! Although not a long course, there are several long par 3s and as most greens are elevated to some extent, its a great challenge to work out the best line of approach to catch the playing surface. The view from the 9th tee was amazing! Pace of play was excellent even though there were a few 4-balls ahead of us, and the cool drink on the decking outside the clubhouse was a fine way to finish a great morning out!

A lovely and interesting course with a good variety of holes. With 5 sets of tees, you are able to choose the length that suits your game, and the holes all seemed fair. Some of the greens had large undulations which made approaches and putting a good challenge. Well worth a visit.

Not a long course and nice and flat makes it an easy walk. However, dont let the wide fairways deceive you into thinking this is an easy course. Large undulating greens and well-placed bunkers keep you on your toes! Some excellent holes here and what a wee gem the 16th is. I played Royal Aberdeen the day before and loved the short 8th there. This is similar!
Pro Lindsay and staff very welcoming and good service in clubhouse.
