Whitemoss Golf Club

The drive to Whitemoss Golf Club near Perth takes you through proper Perthshire countryside, and that's already half the appeal. This is a working golf course set on grounds that feel genuinely tucked away from the main roads, with fairways that roll across pleasant terrain rather than the dramatic Highland backdrops you might expect further north.

It's a members' club primarily, which means casual play isn't always straightforward - you'll need to ring ahead or arrange access through someone who knows the place. If you do get on, you're looking at a solid 18 holes of the type of golf that won't humiliate you but won't let you coast either. The course itself is well-maintained and moves through woodland and open parkland, nothing flashy, just good honest golf.

Golfers will obviously get the most from it, and for anyone staying at nearby Luxury Hideaways, it's worth checking if they can arrange a day pass or guest rate. The location makes sense for a long weekend in the area - Perth has decent restaurants and shops if you need to escape the fairways. Allow a full morning or early afternoon for 18 holes, plus time for the clubhouse afterwards if they'll have you.

Not a destination in itself, but if you're a golfer visiting Perthshire, worth a phone call to see what's possible.
