Auchterarder Golf Club is located in the heart of Perthshire, Scotland, and welcomes visitors all year round.
The parkland course has spectacular views towards Gleneagles and the Ochil Hills and runs along side the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles Hotel (Ryder Cup venue in 2014).
An easy walking course of 5800 yards, it has a variety of challenging holes which are a test for golfers of all abilities. The clubhouse offers a variety of refreshments and meals throughout the day.
Auchterarder Golf is completely overshadowed by the world-famous Gleneagles Resort next door, the village of Auchterarder was offering golf as a sporting amenity to its locals more than thirty years before the arrival of the Caledonian Railway Company’s Grand Design in 1924.
Formed in 1892, Auchterarder Golf Club acquired the services of Ben Sayers to set out a 9-hole course in 1913 and this layout from the 1888 Open runner-up remained in play until a major expansion at the end of the 1970s resulted in the course that’s still in use today.
Measuring a modest 5,750 yards from the back tees, the layout at Auchterarder is arranged with six par threes, four of which are encountered on the back nine – indeed, a round here concludes in a somewhat unconventional manner, with testing short holes played at the 16th and 18th.
Note that Auchterarder Golf Club is participating in the OnCourse® programme, committed to continually improve in the important sustainability areas of nature, water, energy, supply chain, pollution control, and community.
