Kinross Golf Course - Montgomery Course

About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Style Parkland
Par 72
Length 6508 yards
Slope 137
Rating 72.4

The Green Hotel in Kinross, Scotland, is home to two championship parkland golf courses, the Montgomery and the Bruce, set in the beautiful countryside along Loch Leven. The courses serve as an affordable, parkland option while staying in Perthshire near Gleneagles and St. Andrews.

Originally called the Blue Course, it was relaunched in 2006 as the Montgomery. The name comes from a family that has owned the estate around Loch Leven for the last three centuries.

The Montgomery is 6,508 yards and par 71. Undulating greens, streams and ponds are spread throughout the course. A number of holes have views over Loch Leven to the hills beyond. You can catch those sites through glimpses of the tree-lined fairways, which are on all of the holes - a mixture of cherries, oaks, beech, ash, pine, larch and spruce.

The Montgomery underwent various design changes in 2006, adding 19 new bunkers, four new white tees and a pond, all of which have enhanced the layout and made a difficult course even trickier. The keepers of the course are so confident of the changes they've made, they offer a "Montgomery Challenge": Anyone breaking 80 gets the next round free.

Kinross Golf Club has been in existence since 1888, but, like most courses in the area, the original course was lost to World War II.

Visiting golfers, clubs and societies are all welcome and tee times can be reserved at weekends as well as weekdays. Special discounted green fees are available for the residents of both the Green Hotel and the Windlestrae Hotel.

Great Course even on a Scottish Summers Day

The weather was not the best for the round but this didn't put a damper on the day. Course layout was fantastic, with the pace of play being fantastic even though it was a busy bank holiday Monday.

Staff in the cub house and starters shop were friendly, even offering some advice on the opening first few holes.

Will be back to play the other course.

Beautiful course just not a £45 courses

The staff couldn’t have represented the club any better!! They were friendly, approachable, extremely knowledgable and extremely helpful.
Majority of tee boxes were flat and in good condition. Fairways were wide and in good condition. Greens were challenging and in great condition. All the Bunkers were under repair. They were full of pebbles and no
Sand (they told us about the repair programme before teeing off). Majority of holes are well payed out and have nice back drops.
Really enjoyed the round and would play again! Just don’t feel it’s a £45 course.

A little gem

Had a lovely round at the Montgomery course in Kinross. Very friendly staff and course in good condition in spite of the prolonged spell of dry weather. It was a challenge from some of the back tees, but if you wanted an easy round then playing from the yellow tees help with some tee shots. Good and challenging greens. friendly staff also.
A lot of fun for a little money.

Great course

We played the Montgomery and were not disappointed ted with the course layout and conditions..in particular the greens were exceptional, some of the best greens I have played on in over 40yrs of playing golf!

It was unfortunate that we were playing behind a number of 4 balls as we were a two ball..this created us waiting on every hole sometimes up to 10mjns to tee off….

Would definitely recommend the Montgomery and would return to play the Bruce course..

Beautiful course

Played in November so bit soggy underfoot. This didn’t distract from our round. Beautiful autumn scenery and we had a lovely warm welcome from the pro and clubhouse staff. Great coffee afterwards. PPI etc in place.
4 ball ahead did lead to a back up of players on the course!

Fantastic test of your game

I was a member here as a boy when the two courses were called the red and blue, this course was known as the blue course. It was the first time I had played the course in about 7 years and may I just say the greenkeepers are doing a great job best I have ever seen the course and was a joy to play. It was a test before but now the trees have got bigger it's more of a thinking course. I don't think you will find better finishing holes in Scotland. Hope to get back in the near future

Great Course

I would highly recommend this course to anybody. The course was in great condition and the Pro gave out some great advice pre-round advising our group of the blind hazards. Great course!

Beautiful course

Challenging course with some tight fairways. The course is one of the best I’ve played and you won’t find many for the price either. Staff were great also on arrival, course was immaculate. We will be back thanks.
