The verdant Vale of Strathmore stretches through Perthshire and Angus, east towards Montrose on the coast and has become a hidden valley of golf where there are now a dozen delightful courses all within easy driving distance.
At its centre is Alyth Golf Club, a wellconceived heathland layout established over 100 years ago, the original 9 holes by Old Tom Morris, later extended and refined by James Braid. The combination of tree-lined fairways and diverse, rolling terrain makes this a superior test with a configuration that demands constant attention.
Therefore, the emphasis is on precision rather than distance although both are needed at the course's most demanding stretch, the 9th, 10th and 11th, two long par 4's followed by a par 5. With a tight tee shot in every instance, this is the area to make or break a card.
On the front nine, the 5th is the hole everyone remembers with two stretches of burn intersecting the dog-legged fairway. The temptation is to fly towards towards the green and carry both burns but the canny club golfer, having been in the burn or OOB many times, prefers to go for the island and lob a safe 8 or 9-iron onto the tabletop green.
Alyth's most demanding aspect, however, might be its tranquil setting. Within the pines, silver birch and heather and overlooking the nearby hills, it is easy to lose yourself in the joys of a good game of golf with a layout so conceived that you barely notice other groups of golfers.
