Old Tom Morris design on Perthshire heathland. Sister course to nearby Blairgowrie.
From the Notebook
Alyth Golf Club is a heathland course 6 miles east of Blairgowrie, laid out on similar terrain but with a completely separate character. The original layout was designed by Old Tom Morris in 1894; James Braid revised the course in the 1920s, adding bunker complexity to the original routing. The result is a mature heathland of 6,226 yards, par 71, through a combination of pine, birch and heather that reproduces the essential Perthshire heathland idiom.
The course is less well-known than Blairgowrie's Rosemount, which keeps both the visitor traffic and the green fee manageable. At £55–75, Alyth is approximately half the price of its more famous neighbour for a round of comparable quality on the same underlying terrain. Regulars of both courses tend to regard Alyth as the more characterful of the two — less refined, more natural, with greens that sit into the ground rather than sitting on it.
Visitor access is good; book online or by phone. The combination of Blairgowrie Rosemount and Alyth over two days gives a useful comparison of two of the finest heathland courses in Scotland, separated by six miles and designed by the same architect in different decades. Alyth village has a hotel and several pubs for an overnight stop between the rounds.

Played here? Consider
Three things worth packing.
Picked for heathland rounds in Scotland.
Outerwear
Galvin Green Andres jacket
Wind off the firth changes club selection two irons. A breathable, fully-waterproof shell that's light enough not to swing in is the single biggest upgrade for Scottish links golf.
Layer
Sunderland of Scotland half-zip
Scottish-made merino — the locals' choice for shoulder-season rounds. Warm enough for a 7am tee time in October, light enough for the back nine when the sun comes out.
Tech
Garmin Approach S70 GPS
Handles blind tee shots and exposed-coastal yardage cleanly. Battery lasts a 36-hole day; the wind-direction overlay justifies the price on its own.
