Kinross offers two courses: The Bruce and The Montgomery. If you come across a group or society that has spent the day playing both courses, ask the golfers which course they enjoyed the most. Some will say "The Bruce" while others will say "The Montgomery." The best way to answer the question for yourself is to play them both; come for the day or take advantage of one our value-laden stay-and-play packages. Both courses are mature and well-maintained and provide excellent examples of Scottish parkland golf with the added bonus of magnificent views of Loch Leven and the West Lomond Hills. The owners renovated and improved both courses three years ago and the work has significantly added to the playability and enjoyment. Also enjoy any of the 200 other courses, all within an hours drive, including: St Andrews, Carnoustie, Muirfield, North Berwick, Gullane, Gleneagles and many more.
The Bruce
If The Montgomery is the sensible, polite, and determined sister destined for a life of professionalism and hard work, then The Bruce is the sister who is less predictable and more likely to stray off the beaten path. Proof comes in the par-39 outward nine where you'll find four par-5s in the space of six holes. Yes, the challenge is a little gentler on The Bruce and there's no "The Bruce Challenge" (yet) but scoring well on The Bruce is no given. Weekend and "average" golfers often find The Bruce is more to their liking but the better golfer who sees four early par-5s and thinks, "that's four birdie holes" often finds their card in shreds embarrassingly early in the round. Yet sometimes, even a modest golfer finds a way to take advantage of the scoring opportunities that The Bruce presents. The Hardest Hole on the Course? The par-4 6th at just 272 Yards! Further proof of the wonderful unpredictability on The Bruce comes at the par-4 sixth. It's the number one handicap hole and it only requires an mid-iron off the tee followed by a wedge. Unfortunately for some, the "ball magnetic" pond in front of the green generates plenty of golfing angst and big numbers. Unlike The Montgomery, where par is gratefully, even gleefully accepted at the 18th, the closing hole on The Bruce, a 330-yard par-4, provides an Montgomery_3rd_tee.pngopportunity for a birdie to win the match and earn some bragging rights in the clubhouse bar. Three Strong Holes Where Par is a Result It's difficult to pick the "best" par-3 on The Bruce but the short 16th might be the one that most golfers select: it's 160 from the white tees but choosing the right bat can be difficult as the green is long and well-protected. It's a picturesque hole with a well-framed green. The aforementioned 6th is the most famous par-4 on the course but the par-4 14th provides an enjoyable shot downhill to the large green. The first of the par-5s on The Bruce, the 4th, might seem like the first of several birdie opportunities but even good golfers leave the hole happy with a par: the second shot is perhaps the most difficult on the course, whether you

The Montgomery
The senior of the two courses at Kinross, The Montgomery is fair for the weekend or occasional golfer while still providing some unique challenges for the more accomplished player. There is always golfing banter about who is going to make the “Montgomery Challenge Hall of Fame”, but breaking 80 is a serious challenge. If your handicap is 10 or greater and you successfully score below 80, we'll extend the prize of a free round to include a friend. The hardest hole? The par-4 18th at 443 yards! We've added 19 strategically placed bunkers and a pond to make life a little more interesting for challengers. But perhaps the biggest aggravator is the very last hole. Many a golfer has stood on the 18th tee thinking about The Montgomery Challenge Hall of Fame only to have their hopes dashed with the brutish 443 yards to a difficult green on this par-4. The best par-3 on The Montgomery is the 4th, just 139 yards uphill to a green that slopes considerably from front to back. Any shot that finds the front right bunker is almost instantly a bogey and chipping around this green is never easy. The favourite par-4 on the course in the 16th. Placement off the tee is vital and there is a long iron approach to a well-guarded green. Make the green in two and walking off with a par is usually a result. The 11th is The Montgomery's best par-5 with its new pond that makes this 498 yard hole a great risk and reward test. It is especially so for those playing the yellow tees at 465 yards: given the right wind and ground conditions, it will be very tempting to fetch the green in two. But beware - the second shot must be perfect or it will likely find a watery grave in the pond.
