Blairgowrie (Wee)

Blairgowrie has two courses in our Scottish Top 100, both of which are contenders for the prized Great Britain and Ireland ranking.

The Rosemount is generally regarded as the No.1 - with the more exacting Lansdowne close behind - and its beauty and serene challenge make a strong contender for our Fun Top 100.

But while it doesn't quite make it, the 'third' course at this Perthshire club does.

The Wee Course is actually where golf began at Blairgowrie, and was originally designed by local members.

It does however have significant influences by the altogether more celebrated golfing brain of  Augusta creator Dr Alister MacKenzie.

Like its sister course, the Wee is heathland in character and enjoys the same firm but springy turf that is such a delight to strike irons from.

Also routed through woodland, it is made up of an combination of pars 3s and gentle par 4s and while it is no pushover, equally these are holes that were built to be enjoyed not endured.

Play it after a day on one of the 'bigger' courses and all the way home the chat in the car will be about how courses are generally too long and difficult, so much will you have enjoyed the exquisite Wee.

Old Tom Morris said of it: "I think this is the most beautiful inland green I have ever seen."
