Guys,
Looking for a wee bit of insider info from the 'locals'. I'm arranging a trip for 12 men for two days golf, already arranged Pitlochry and Murrayshall as this is the the preferred courses but i'm looking for accomodation in Perth, preferably city centre, any suggestions?

Just that many of Perth's visitors have the reputation of being from the older generation but if I have to explain I guess it wasn't funny, sorry

Cheers mate, will do. Out of curiosity, you don't happen to work for NWR do you?

 

[Deke]

I have worked in Perth for two years now mate, so for food/drink recommendations I am your man! Like Steve said give me a PM nearer the time and I will be glad to help! If you can venture out a bit further you should visit my track Alyth, she is good value and a great wee course. Strathmore and Glenisla are also both good. King James VI in Perth is a decent option and if you like hilly courses then Craigie Hill is good fun.

No mate work for GE Oil & Gas. As Deke says Alyth isn't that far and a cracking track

Cheers Deke,
I usually play Alyth and Glenisa and Forfar with another group every year, your course is the best in the area, really enjoy it. Thanks for the offer i'll contact you nearer the time

We stayed at the Ramada Perth last year are would definitely recommend it.

An outing and overnighter up there deserves to be played at Blairgowrie IMO, not knocking Alyth or any others but Blair is one of the best inland clubs in the UK with 2 championship worthy courses.

agree with the Rosemount, but wasn't overly impressed by the Lansdowne Val maybe just a bit early in the year.

Stuart, I was looking for that hotel this morning on the web but a search couldn't find it.
