Course Description

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.

What type of course is The Montgomery and how should I play it?

The course follows a traditional Parkland design philosophy. 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.
