I stopped off in Blair Atholl during a road trip, and only wanted a short round (9 holes) as had my girlfriend in tow. For this reason, I didn't book through Tee off times but turned up and paid at the bar. £12 for 9 holes is a really good rate considering the quality of the course.

I was nearly put off by the scorecard, because there are a lot of shortish par 4's. However, you can only really drive on a couple of them because of hazards, meaning it was a really interesting few holes. The greens were good (not great) but again considering the price it was well up to standard. The bunkers (I found a few) were really good quality too, which is always nice.

The 500+ yard par 5 is a challenge, as even if you are a 300 yard driver of the ball, the second shot has to carry 200 yards to get to the green. Also, one par 3 is really short, and one is 245 yards off the farthest tee, which is something you don't see very often.

Overall, a very good little course which I would very much recommend. Also, the backdrop scenery is second to none!
