Taymouth Castle Golf Course

The legendary James Braid has designed more than 200 courses but probably none prettier than this beauty. It’s been around for more than 85 years and serenely sits in the heart of highland Perthshire within the valley of the river Tay and overlooked, of course, by the impressive castle itself.

Taymouth Castle Golf Club was established in 1925 playing on the course designed by James Braid set in the grounds of Taymouth Castle near Kenmore, situated in the heart of highland Perthshire. As well as being a five time winner of the Open Championship James Braid was a renowned designer of over 200 golf courses, and Taymouth continues to be a fine example of his work.

The course is laid out in the former deer park of the Taymouth estate within the valley of the river Tay. As well as offering some testing holes, the course affords spectacular views of the surrounding countryside including the peaks of the Lawers range, the sparkling waters of Loch Tay, and the wooded slopes of Drummond Hill.

In 2008 the Kenmore Hotel entered into an agreement with the owners of the Taymouth estate to manage and operate the golf course. Taymouth Castle Golf Club is delighted that the Kenmore Hotel has continued to support the Club playing on the course.

  A great golf course, with excellent views, greens were a little slow when we played the course, but a good test of golf
