Crieff Ferntower
Crieff has been a favourite destination for society and holiday golfers for many years.The club is only an hour's drive from Edinburgh and Glasgow; yet, situated at the 'Gateway to the Highlands' and surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of rural Perthshire, it provides a feeling of escape.
Voted 29th best golfing facility in the UK by the readers of Golf World magazine, Crieff Golf Club is one of Scotland's top inland courses. Built on gently sloping parkland, once the grounds of Ferntower House, the courses provide a fair, but challenging experience for all levels of players.
Originating from the Gaelic craobh, Crieff is a land "among the trees." Lying on the southern edge of the Scottish Highlands, the town unravels from the Knock, the wooded hill above, and stretches out towards the River Earn.
Situated within Scotland's Golfing District, which encompasses Perthshire and Fife and extends to the coast at Fife, including St. Andrews, Crieff Golf Club is ten miles north of Gleneagles.

The eighteen-hole Ferntower course has hosted the Scottish Boys and Youth Strokeplay Championships and is presently the venue for the P.G.A Scottish Championship qualifier and the regional heat of the Lombard Trophy (the world's largest Pro-Am). However, the course is not only for the big boys, many society and social players enjoy the open nature of the course and the merciful rough.

Shorter, but testing, the nine-hole Dornock is ideal for a quick nine or as part of a thirty-six-hole package.
