About
Pitreavie Golf Club has an 18-hole, parkland layout with some elements of traditional links golf mixed in. Dr. Allistair MacKenzie designed Pitreavie. In his design, he incorporated features from his favorite course, the famous Old Course at St Andrews. Rather than flattening any undulation in the landscape, MacKenzie artificially enhanced the gentle slopes but still blended them seamlessly with the natural terrain. The golf course offers panoramic views of Forth Valley for golfers to enjoy during their round. Pitreavie Golf Club provides a formidable test but it is not beyond the means of a high handicapper.

Pitreavie (Windy)
Booked Hot Deal, the "Starter" announced there would be another player joining us, apparently that's a condition of the Hot Deal, so it wasn't a request to join. Luckily the other golfer was first class company and a welcome addition, but its nice to be asked. Pitreavie course, first class, as it says on the website the opening holes make or break you're round, lot of blind holes. Though busy, a good pace was maintained, considering there was a club competition on also.
Superb course, the greens were in excellent condition for April
Played the course with my Son and we both thought the layout, general condition and condition of the greens was outstanding, given that it was April. The course was originally designed by Dr Alister McKenzie, and the tiered greens, some with false fronts provided a taste of his masterpiece in Augusta, all be it they were a good deal slower! I expect that during the summer, when the mower cutter height is taken down, they will be tricky to putt on.
I would recommend this course as a very good and fair test of golf, if it was nearer my home, I would consider joining - it's that good!
Unexpected Mackenzie
This course has all sorts of samples of the famous doctor's designs: blind tees, two or three slope/plateau greens, lurking bunkers and burns. On a windy day, challenging indeed. Course conditions are reasonable without being especially neat and tidy--explaining perhaps the extremely competitive Hot Deal. Well worth a visit, though.
