Comrie Golf Club

Comrie Golf Club is a nine-hole course on moorland above the Perthshire village of Comrie, in the Strathearn valley between Crieff and Loch Earn. The course sits on the hillside above the village — heather and rough grassland, views down the glen toward Crieff, the River Earn valley visible below. Par 33, around 2,600 yards.

The nine holes use the moorland above the village for their scale — the outward half climbs toward higher ground where the Earn valley opens to the east; the inward half descends through terrain where two burns cross the fairways as the primary hazards. The 3rd and 4th, on the upper plateau, play into the prevailing southwest wind that funnels up the valley from Loch Earn. The turf is firm moorland grass that runs faster than the lie suggests; the greens reward a bump-and-run approach more than a high pitch.

Green fee £15–20. Comrie is the kind of golf experience that is impossible to manufacture and increasingly rare: a village nine-hole with genuine terrain, modest green fee, and no ambition beyond being the local course. For golfers on a Perthshire circuit, a quick nine at Comrie between Crieff and Loch Earn is an hour well spent.
