How Perthshire packages work
Perthshire is inland, parkland and heathland golf rather than the links most visitors picture in Scotland, and that is its charm. The county gathers the five-star Gleneagles resort, with its three championship courses, and the 45-hole Blairgowrie club among pine, birch and heather in the centre of the country, within easy reach of St Andrews, Carnoustie and the rest of the Scottish golf map. The appeal is a luxury resort base set among genuinely excellent courses, in scenery quite different from the coast.
Trips here are usually built either as a Gleneagles stay that bundles five-star lodging with resort golf, or as a touring base in the county playing Blairgowrie and others on individual green fees, often through a village inn or hotel. Below is how the main trip shapes break down for 2026 and where the value sits. Every figure is a planning guide rather than a quote, since green fees swing sharply between winter and summer and between resident and visitor rates, and you should always confirm directly before booking.

The deals worth watching
Two ways to play Perthshire
Perthshire offers a clear choice of trip. Gleneagles is the luxury anchor, a five-star resort whose stays bundle lodging and dining with its three championship courses, the Braid-designed King's and Queen's and the Nicklaus PGA Centenary that hosted the 2014 Ryder Cup. Alternatively, a county touring base at a village inn or hotel lets you play Blairgowrie and the area's other courses on individual green fees, with St Andrews and Carnoustie within reach for day trips.
How the green fees break down
The two anchors price very differently. Gleneagles non-resident green fees on the King's Course run from around GBP 95 in the winter months to about GBP 325 in high summer when booked directly, with resident rates and packages improving the economics for resort guests. Blairgowrie is far more accessible, with midweek visitor green fees of around GBP 65 per round on Rosemount and Lansdowne and around GBP 30 per day on the 9-hole Wee Course. Winter and shoulder-season play is the clear value window.
Stay-and-play levers
The value in Perthshire often comes from how you stay. A Gleneagles resident package folds the golf into a luxury break and can soften the headline green fees, while a village base such as a local inn can negotiate access deals with clubs including Blairgowrie that are not always advertised online. For a multi-round trip, weighing a resort package against a touring base with individual green fees is the key piece of planning.
Our take
Perthshire is the best of inland Scotland, a luxury resort and genuinely excellent heathland golf in scenery quite distinct from the famous links, and within easy reach of them. Gleneagles is a world-class base if the budget allows, and Blairgowrie offers superb golf at far gentler prices, so the county works for both a splurge and a value trip.
Our advice is to decide between a Gleneagles resort stay and a county touring base, play winter or shoulder season for the best green-fee value, and use Perthshire's central position for day trips to the coast. Our Perthshire golf hub, our best courses in Perthshire list and our Scotland golf hub lay out the options, and our team can assemble the rounds, tee times and lodging, costed to the head, before you commit.

How do you plan a Perthshire golf trip?
There are two natural shapes. A Gleneagles resort stay bundles five-star lodging and dining with its three championship courses, while a county touring base at a village inn or hotel lets you play Blairgowrie and other courses on individual green fees, with St Andrews and Carnoustie within reach for day trips. Winter and shoulder season offer the best green-fee value.
Is Perthshire golf links or parkland?
Perthshire is inland golf, a mix of parkland and heathland among pine, birch and heather rather than the coastal links most visitors picture in Scotland. That makes it a strong contrast or complement to a links trip, and its central position keeps the famous coastal courses within day-trip reach.
