Blairgowrie Rosemount: 2026 Access and Booking Update
An hour north of Edinburgh in the Perthshire pines, the Rosemount at Blairgowrie is one of Scotland's loveliest inland courses, a James Braid heathland masterpiece routed through avenues of pine, birch and heather. Here is where it stands in 2026, what it costs, and how to play it.
The news: a 2026 season in the Perthshire pines
Blairgowrie enters the 2026 season as one of the most rewarding inland golf days in Scotland, and the Rosemount remains the round that visiting golfers come for. The club is a genuine 36 hole destination, pairing the Rosemount with the Lansdowne and the nine hole Wee Course, which makes it a natural base for a Perthshire stay or a stop on the way between Edinburgh, St Andrews and the Highlands.
For 2026 the headline for visitors is the seasonal green fee on the Rosemount, which the club sets lower in the shoulder months and higher across high summer. With the course continuing to feature among Scotland's top inland courses, a round here is one of the better value marquee experiences away from the famous links coast.
The course itself
The Rosemount is a James Braid design, redesigned and extended by Braid in the 1930s, and it plays as a par 72 of about 6,590 yards from the medal tees. It is classic Scottish heathland golf, with fairways carved through stands of pine, silver birch and broom, and greens that sit framed by the trees rather than exposed to the wind of the coast.
What makes the Rosemount special is the quiet drama of the routing. The holes feel private and self contained, each one a corridor of its own, and the turf is the springy heathland mix that the best inland courses are built on. It is a course that asks for accurate driving and thoughtful approach play rather than brute length, and it rewards a player who can plot a way around.
How to play it in 2026
Blairgowrie welcomes visitors and is well set up for travelling golfers, with trolleys, buggies and club hire available and a clubhouse geared to societies and golf trips. Booking ahead is essential in the main season, and the 36 hole layout means a full day here is easy to fill across the Rosemount and the Lansdowne.
On cost, indicative 2026 visitor green fees on the Rosemount run from around 80 pounds in April to about 120 pounds in high season from May to September, with October easing back toward 90 pounds. Treat those as indicative for the 2026 season and confirm current availability and pricing directly with Blairgowrie before booking, especially for shoulder season tee times and group play.
Our take
Our take is that the Rosemount is the finest inland round in this part of Scotland and one of the best heathland courses anywhere in the country, a serene change of pace from the exposed links of the east coast. The two course set up makes a day here genuinely worthwhile, and the value compared with the marquee links names is hard to argue with.
If you are planning a 2026 trip, build the Rosemount into a Perthshire and Tayside swing, or use it as the inland counterpoint on a wider Scottish tour that takes in the links of Fife and East Lothian. A day across the Rosemount and the Lansdowne, with the Wee Course for an evening nine, is a perfect 36 hole stop.
