Play golf the traditional way at Hill of Tarvit.

Golf at Hill of Tarvit re-establishes the thrill of the game 100 years ago with hickory shafts and softer golf balls. The more gentle sport is rekindled in the most beautiful of Scottish settings.

Reservations can be made for the 1st tee every 15 minutes starting at 9am and finishing at 5pm. From the beginning of October the last bookable tee-time is 4pm. Where play is requested outside these times we will do our best to make it possible.

Players will be provided with a minimum of 5 original hickory clubs, an original canvass and leather bag, together with balls and tees that represent the early 20th century golfing experience.

Dates:
Friday 27 June 2008 - Sunday 2 November 2008

Times:
9am-5pm June to September, 9am-4pm October and November

Price:
The current price of a round is £35. In the event that the tee is available and time allows, a second 9 holes can be played for £15 on the same day.
