Strathmore Golf Centre

In the mid 1990's, and whilst in my much fitter 20's, I actually roofed and roughcasted the clubhouse at Strathmore. The course was just being constructed alongside it, and it was an impressive feat to witness. Until then I had never known just how much goes into a modern golf courses' design, architecture and construction, it's quite an undertaking, and many golfers at that time were sceptical about how successful the club could be given how much it was costing to build, and all of the other surrounding competition. I knew a lot of local golfers back then who were pessimistic, my father being one of them, and I had played golf alongside them as a junior just along the road at Blairgowrie, but gave up when I turned 16 as beer and girls became much more interesting.... A 33 year hietus later and I returned to golf in January 2023, and I'm now a member at Murrayshall about 15 miles away from Strathmore. Disheartened by how difficult the management have made play there, the constant water-logging, regularly losing balls in the ridiculously long so-called short rough, the postage stamp greens, the absence of a fringe and perpetually having mud up to my shins, I'm seeking-out another place to play next season. I had heard many good things about Strathmore, and I always thought it would be great to try it out since I witnessed it being constructed - I was not disappointed! It is a serious contender for next season! What a fantastic and extremely forgiving golf course this is! Despite one of the actual roads to it being completely closed due to flooding the day I played, the course was almost completely dry. Their drainage is seriously impressive, and the course is in great condition despite the dreadful weather we've had here in September. The staff were incredibly friendly and pleasant to deal with, we had lunch, an old-school pub style meal, and played 18 holes, and I will be back for certain! As some honest feedback, I would just state the obvious and say that the clubhouse could do with some fresh, modern decor, it has been well used, but I'm sure they know that, and the disruption and cost will no doubt be the reason for it not being done. But with a bit of sprucing-up, this club could be a real jem! But, if you're just there for the golf, there are few courses in Perthshire that are any better, and I'm confident that you will not be disappointed either! I salute your success, and I'm really glad to see that the naysayers lost!

Considering the volume of water deposited in the area from Storm Babet, the course was excellent for late October (only 1 temp). Some interesting holes, generous fairways and good green condition. The clubhouse is always friendly and welcoming with great food at great value. Highly recommended.

Love the course; however prices have gone up for buggy hire...adds to costs! Carvery delicious. On eating before golf...food and service a bit below std...very slow.

I was there for lunch and had lentil and veg soup followed by chicken strips in batter with a salad it was actually an other starter as that was ample for me as usual couldn't fault it lovely lunch

Great food and excellent serviceWell done to all staff. Thanks will definitely be back
