Beeches Park
The two 18 hole golf courses at Kinross are considered by many to be Scotland's hidden golfing gems. The Kinross Golf Courses, with their convenient access to the M90 motorway, are ideally suited for a golfing day out or short break and are owned and operated in conjunction with the adjacent Green Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort. Few other golfing venues offer such a wide range of facilities and accommodation and our courses are within easy reach of Perth (20 minutes), Edinburgh (30 minutes), Stirling & Dundee (40 minutes), Glasgow (60 minutes). The charming and historic town of Kinross lies in the heart of Scotland's golfing country and forms the southern gateway to Perthshire and the Highlands. Previously known as the Blue Course and the Red Course, our two courses were re-branded and re-launched in 2006 as The Montgomery and The Bruce respectively, taking their names from the two families that have owned the estate around Loch Leven for most of the last three centuries. These two highly regarded 18-hole golf courses lie in beautiful, unspoiled parkland bordering Loch Leven. Our undulating greens, streams, ponds and enticing tree-lined fairways provide a challenging test of golf in a fabulous setting to both low and high handicap golfers alike. 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 also available for residents of the Green Hotel.

FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing The Bruce and what to expect.
The Bruce is regarded as a strategically complex layout. The 120 slope rating keeps it accessible for developing players. The course rating of 70 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6000 yards. The back tees extend to 6500 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 70 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
At a full length of 6500 yards, it balances distance with positional strategy.
Architecturally, it reflects a Parkland style. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 120 and yardage reaching 6500 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
