There are 30 golf courses in Perthshire,
ranging from small highland nine hole courses, to eighteen hole championship
courses. St. Andrews and Carnoustie are about an hours drive. From Monzievaird
we have about 20 courses within half an hours drive, 6 of which you can reach
in less than 15 minutes - Crieff (one 18 and two 9 hole courses), Comrie
- a beautiful 9 hole highland course, St. Fillans and Muthill (both 9 hole).
Crieff Hydro Hotel has an 18 hole course, a driving range and a 6 hole junior
course at it's own golf centre, less than a mile from here. Residents at
Loch Monzievaird are eligible for the Hotel residents rate (approximately
half price). Just show your Loch Monzievaird key at the Golf Clubhouse.
For most courses it is wise to book
in advance at busier times of the year, particularly for parties and larger
groups. The Perthshire Tourist Board offers good value combined tickets for
some of the 18 hole and 9 hole courses .
Disc (Frisbee) Golf
We have a 9 hole par 3 disc golf course
in the grounds, with marked tees and PDGA official chain baskets. This is
a fun activity for adults and children of all ages. However it is a serious
course and has been described by the BDGA (British Disc Golf Association)
tour champion Derek Robins as follows : " The course at Monzievaird is an
excellent facility, the location is superb, and the course is suitable for
players of all skill levels. The short holes suit beginners but the expert
will be tested by pin placements which make maximum use of the mature trees
and undulating terrain".
