Alyth Golf Club in Alyth, Scotland

Alyth Golf Club is one of those fine little golf courses you come across when you roam the countryside in Scotland - not really close to any major cities or tourist attractions, just sitting out here in the hinterlands waiting to be enjoyed by its members and guests.

And enjoyed it is. The course doesn't make it easy for you - not with its blind shots, rolling terrain and elevated greens, many of which drop off sharply. But it's a blast to play - or, as local Steve Cochran put it, "a bloody good test of golf."
