Heartlands Golf Holidays and Breaks
Central Scotland calm: polished parkland, heath-style holes and lochside scenery in one easy base.
Your Next Golf Break in the Heartlands: Central Scotland’s Parkland, Heath & Lochside Views
The Scottish Heartlands sit between Glasgow and Edinburgh, spanning Stirling, Perthshire and the Loch Lomond & Trossachs area. Expect handsome parkland and heath-style layouts, big-sky hill views and refined resort stays — with castles, lochs and historic towns between rounds.
Base yourself in Stirling, Auchterarder or near Loch Lomond for short transfers to a tight cluster of well-presented courses and full-service countryside hotels that make weekends effortless.

The Ultimate Guide to Golf Hotels in the Heartlands
- Countryside resorts around Stirling and Perthshire pair on-site golf with spa, pools and multiple dining options — perfect for low-effort weekend breaks.
- Prefer a village vibe? Boutique inns near the Trossachs and Loch Lomond offer scenic bases with short drives to morning tee times and relaxed pub dinners.
- Typical layouts feature tree-lined fairways, heather edges, quick, true greens and gentle elevation changes — playable yet interesting for varied handicaps.
- Build a balanced plan: one resort round for convenience, one heath/parkland members’ club for variety, and time for a castle or distillery stop. Par5 Escapes can shape tee times, hotel style and pacing around your group size and budget.
