Overview

Glenisla is a 9-hole parkland course integrated into Alyth Golf Club. It measures 3,078 yards (par 35), and offers a full 18-hole round from alternate tees totaling 6,229 yards (par 70). Water hazards, bunkers, burns, and excellent greens ensure it remains a strategic test.

The course blends into the Perthshire countryside with standout features like the uphill “Barry Hill,” the panoramic “Kirk Spire,” and the long par-5 “Monster.” It’s suitable for all skill levels and popular year-round due to full greens and no winter mats.
