Kinross Golf Courses - The Montgomery Course

New to golfing so was a bit anxious booking my first round here myself but the boy in the pro shop was really helpful. Course was great and looking forward to playing again next week

Would recommend a game here to everyone.

Beautiful tree lined fairways ( think I only hit one branch) fairways in excellent condition and a few really nice two tierd greens to challenge your putting.

Only criticism would be the lack of sand in the bunkers (only had to play out of two, but noticed all bunkers were very poor) try and stay out of them.

Really enjoyed my day here, it was a two ball and we both scored the same!

Might have been slightly better if I had won.

My first golf course in Scotland, it was in excellent condition and I was lucky there was no rain

Play Montgomery course and first tee summed up the whole course

Off mat with a lot of wear around the greens

Greens were not great

Bunkers full of stones

Breakfast was not good

I really enjoyed the course. It has a lovely mix of holes and was in fairly good condition - greens ran well. Bunkers not great but playable.

Tree lined makes it a good challenge but it’s a fair test (and not too thick for any wayward shots which do find the trees).

Good value at £30.

Pace of play was slow on the back 9 though I played on a sunny afternoon and there were a couple of 3-ball visitor groups ahead so perhaps understandable.

My friend and I had booked to play the Montgomery Course at Kinross Golf Club. However, upon arrival we were informed that the course was closed due to maintenance.

When we made our booking through your website, the Montgomery Course was shown as the only available option — the Bruce Course was actually displayed as unavailable at the time. Because of that, we selected the Montgomery Course in good faith, assuming it was open for play.

We were quite surprised to be told upon arrival that it was closed, and that we could instead play the Bruce Course — especially as the website had shown it as unavailable.

We’d appreciate clarification on how this mix-up occurred and whether an alternative round or refund can be arranged, as the information online did not reflect the actual course availability on the day.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

I had a tee time of 1036am booked for today… it’s not 1150am. I walked off in the 3rd tee. Having arrived and given my name, tee time and course I was greeted with “you a visitor?” Then pointed in the direction of the 1st. Not the usual welcome I’ve received when playing all over the country and indeed world. My current situation is having moved to Perthshire I’m looking for a membership local so was hardly blown away on arrival.

I turned up to the 1st tee after a warm up 3 minutes early… where two members were teeing off at my time. I waited 10 minutes for them to clear the first. I arrived at the 2nd tee and waited 10 minutes eventually pulling out a 5 iron just so I could play and not keep waiting. I then waited another 5 minutes for the green to clear. I’m now in a bad mood by the time I’ve got off the 2nd green it’s 35 minutes after my booked tee off. I thought I’d get to play through on the 3rd… I was wrong. The group ahead were just walking off the tee, they then took 5 minutes looking for a ball and ignored my hand in the air request to play through. At this point it’s 40 minutes after tee off time, I’m another 5 minutes away from teeing off on the 3rd and that was meaning a 6 hour round. Something I didn’t want or have time for as a single player. I walked off, debated going in to complain but decided it would end in an argument given the welcome I received.

In summary, course liked good, welcome poor… pace of play the worst I’ve ever seen and zero etiquette for letting players through. Waste of money.

Played the Montgomery today for £32.

Greens are in a really poor condition at present. What made it worse was some of the ridiculous pin placements. More time should have been spent picking an area of the greens that weren’t as affected or in slightly better condition. Course is a great layout out and very playable. Green complex’s are challenging normally but today was nearly impossible to hole anything due to bald patches, indents and pin placements,

Lovely course in brilliant condition, helpful and friendly pro in the shop , greens were very good so early in the season, ill definitely be back to play the other course

The weather was not the best for the round but this didn't put a damper on the day. Course layout was fantastic, with the pace of play being fantastic even though it was a busy bank holiday Monday.

Staff in the cub house and starters shop were friendly, even offering some advice on the opening first few holes.

Will be back to play the other course.

The staff couldn’t have represented the club any better!! They were friendly, approachable, extremely knowledgable and extremely helpful.

Majority of tee boxes were flat and in good condition. Fairways were wide and in good condition. Greens were challenging and in great condition. All the Bunkers were under repair. They were full of pebbles and no

Sand (they told us about the repair programme before teeing off). Majority of holes are well payed out and have nice back drops.

Really enjoyed the round and would play again! Just don’t feel it’s a £45 course.

Had a lovely round at the Montgomery course in Kinross. Very friendly staff and course in good condition in spite of the prolonged spell of dry weather. It was a challenge from some of the back tees, but if you wanted an easy round then playing from the yellow tees help with some tee shots. Good and challenging greens. friendly staff also.

A lot of fun for a little money.

We played the Montgomery and were not disappointed ted with the course layout and conditions..in particular the greens were exceptional, some of the best greens I have played on in over 40yrs of playing golf!

It was unfortunate that we were playing behind a number of 4 balls as we were a two ball..this created us waiting on every hole sometimes up to 10mjns to tee off….

Would definitely recommend the Montgomery and would return to play the Bruce course..

Played in November so bit soggy underfoot. This didn’t distract from our round. Beautiful autumn scenery and we had a lovely warm welcome from the pro and clubhouse staff. Great coffee afterwards. PPI etc in place.

4 ball ahead did lead to a back up of players on the course!
