Great NEW Deals for Golf Groups & Societies at Kinross in 2012

There are plenty of excellent clubs and courses in Scotland that provide suitable services and facilities for golf groups societies. So what makes Kinross such a popular choice? First, we have two lovely 18 hole parkland courses and there’s a great debate at Kinross: which course will your group enjoy the most? From what we can deduce from feedback over recent years, the jury is split.

Hurricane Force Winds Cause New Year Damage

What a difference a year makes!  This time last year, the Kinross golf courses were knee deep in snow and had been in that state for 6 weeks.  High pressure was anchored over Scotland.  This winter has seen the opposite with low pressure systems streaming in one after another from the Atlantic.  The result has been a generally very mild winter but with lots of rain and blasts of storm force winds.  It has almost made us long for snow and ice again!

Sadly nobody won the SAAB Convertible!

We were delighted to stage the first ever 9 hole PowerPlay Golf event in Scotland last Friday here at Kinross in conjunction with the Green Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort. Despite the fairly miserable weather on the day, a very impressive field of 130 golfers took part including 11 juniors. 

Kinross PowerPlay Golf Open 2011

In conjunction with The Green Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort, we are delighted to be hosting the inaugural Kinross PowerPlay Golf Open to be played on Friday 9th September 2011 over our very own Bruce Course at Kinross.

PowerPlay Golf was launched as an exciting new golf concept in May 2011 at Celtic Manor with a host of professionals including Gary Player, Ian Poulter and John Daly competing over the 9 hole format in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

Scottish Seniors stage East of Scotland Open at Kinross

The Scottish Seniors Golfing Society staged their East of Scotland Open here at Kinross on 9th & 10th June 2011.  In total, 97 players entered the strokeplay event played over 2 rounds on The Montgomery.

Apart from a heavy downpour mid morning on the first day, conditions were reasonably favourable for players although the course stood up to its reputation as a challenging layout with the CSS coming in at 75 & 74 on the two days against the official SSS 72.  However, there was some very impressive golf played, not least from Phil Dempsey (Tulliallan) who shot a gross 71 and David Imrie (Thornton) a gross 72 – both in their second rounds.

2011 Kinross (Men’s) Open

Sunday 5th June saw 173 golfers from 40 clubs tale part in Kinross Golf Club’s 2011 Men’s Open played on our Bruce course. The weather was cool and overcast but at least the unseasonably strong winds of the previous fortnight had moderated. P Sanderson (Bamburgh Castle) emerged the clear winner in the Scratch competition with T Wardrope (Kinross) edging clear in the 0-9 handicap section and B Rodgers (Craigiehill) winning the 10-18 handicap section
