A Legacy of Scottish Parkland Golf
Kinross Golf Courses has been welcoming golfers since 1884, establishing itself as one of Scotland's most respected golfing destinations. The club operates two exceptional 18-hole championship parkland courses—The Bruce and The Montgomery—both set within the tranquil grounds of The Green Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort. Nestled in 5,000 acres of stunning Perthshire countryside, these courses represent excellent examples of Scottish parkland golf, combining challenging layouts with breathtaking natural scenery. The courses are situated on the banks of Loch Leven, surrounded by mature woodland and offering panoramic views across the water to the West Lomond Hills. This picturesque setting, combined with the courses' reputation for affordability and accessibility, has made Kinross a firm favourite among golfers of all skill levels, from casual players to serious competitors.The Bruce and The Montgomery: Two Distinct Challenges
The Bruce course provides a traditional parkland experience with wide tree-lined fairways composed of cherries, oaks, beech, ash, pine, larch, and spruce. The Montgomery, originally known as the Blue Course and relaunched in 2006, measures 6,508 yards at par 71 and features undulating greens, strategic water hazards, and streams spread throughout the layout. The Montgomery underwent significant design enhancements in 2006, with the addition of 19 new bunkers, four new white tees, and a pond that elevated the course's difficulty and visual appeal. Both courses feature tree-lined fairways on every hole, creating an intimate yet challenging golfing environment. The Montgomery's design team was so confident in their improvements that they introduced the "Montgomery Challenge"—any golfer breaking 80 receives a complimentary round. The greens on both courses are meticulously maintained and consistently praised for their exceptional quality and condition.Accessibility and Convenience for Visiting Golfers
Located in the easily accessible town of Kinross, the courses are positioned perfectly for golfers travelling from across the United Kingdom and beyond. The site sits just 30 minutes from Edinburgh, approximately one hour from Glasgow, and is within easy reach of other renowned Scottish courses including St Andrews and Gleneagles. Direct motorway access via the M90 makes reaching the courses straightforward for visitors arriving from major Scottish cities. Visiting golfers, golfing societies, and clubs are warmly welcomed, with tee times available for both weekday and weekend play. The club has earned a well-deserved reputation for flexibility in booking arrangements and competitive green fees, making it an attractive option for golf breaks and group outings. Special discounted rates are available for residents of The Green Hotel and the Windlestrae Hotel.The Green Hotel: Historic Charm Meets Modern Amenities
The courses are hosted within The Green Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort, an 18th-century coaching inn that has been transformed into a modern hospitality destination. The hotel features 46 guest bedrooms, two restaurants (Jock's Bar and the contemporary 1567, named after the year Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned in nearby Loch Leven Castle), and multiple bars. The recently refurbished 19th Hole hospitality area provides excellent clubhouse facilities with fantastic views of the courses and the beautiful hills beyond. The resort offers comprehensive leisure facilities including an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, spa, beauty centre, gym, and outdoor tennis courts. Meeting rooms accommodating up to 80 guests, private dining options, and the intimate Backstage At The Green live music venue make the resort suitable for corporate events, celebrations, and group gatherings.Surrounding Attractions and Activities
Beyond golf, the Kinross area offers a wealth of outdoor activities and cultural attractions. The Loch Leven Heritage Trail and Loch Leven nature reserve provide excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and wildlife observation. Loch Leven Castle, situated on an island in the loch, is accessible by boat and holds significant historical importance. The nearby RSPB Loch Leven reserve is a haven for birdwatchers. Additional activities in the region include fishing, boating, canoeing, gliding, falconry, clay pigeon shooting, horse riding, and motorsports at Knockhill, Scotland's national motorsport centre.
