Course Description

By Alan Cartwright (alacarte@dircon.co.uk)
I played Dunkeld this year 1998 and found it a delightful 9 holer which they plan to expand. The course looks to cover the whole of a side of a mountain Every hole has a different view, one over Dunkeld, the 3rd over a loch and these breath taking views can be most detracting to the keen photographer-golfer.You also need to be able to climb like a mountain goat but it is worth it.Lots of gorse to lose your balls in and you play over the road on 2 of the holes. The 7th is a stinker- over the road and you end up looking at an eagles nest 200 feet above you and you are expected to land your ball in it. 3 of the greens I found unreadable but I could just sit and look out of the rather small club house all day long. Well worth finding on the Blairgowrie road.
