Golf courses in Kinross-shire

Kinross-shire, one of Scotland's smallest historic counties, is dominated by Loch Leven and offers pleasant golf in an attractive setting. The Green Hotel's two courses provide accessible golf with views across the loch to the island where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned.

The region serves as a convenient stop for golfers travelling between Edinburgh and the Highlands, with courses offering a relaxed round in comfortable surroundings.

The terrain is gentle parkland, with Loch Leven and the surrounding hills providing scenic interest. The loch creates its own microclimate, and the area enjoys reasonable weather compared to Scotland's more exposed regions. This is friendly, unpretentious golf - a pleasant diversion rather than a bucket-list destination, but enjoyable for all that.
