An award-winning golf club in Perthshire has been brought to the market for offers over £1.4 million.
Extending over more than 150 acres, Strathmore Golf Centre features an 18-hole course, a 9-hole par 3 course, a clubhouse with bar and restaurant, plus practice facilities.
The current owners have decided to retire and have put the golf course up for sale with commercial property specialist Colliers, which is marketing the property and business as a going concern with goodwill and trade contents.
Senior surveyor Robert Smithson said: “This is a rare opportunity to buy an established, award-winning golf course which is a successful business in its own right with strong membership and impressive visiting player income, and which also offers potential for further development.”

He added that potential opportunities included development of holiday accommodation, subject to planning permission.
“Although now lapsed, outline planning permission was granted in 2008 for the construction of new leisure facilities which included a hotel, gym, new clubhouse, and chalet/lodge accommodation together with a new manager’s house,” he said.
The Strathmore Golf Centre was voted Scotland’s "best golf experience" in the 2016 and 2017 Scottish Golf Tourism Awards (under £50 Category) and features the 18-hole 72-par Rannaleroch Course, which was designed by John Salveson and opened in 1996 by Scottish professional golfer Kathryn Marshall-Imrie.
In addition, there is a 9-hole 27-par course, The Leitfie Links, and practice areas with a large putting green and practice bunker, plus a 10-bay covered, floodlit practice range.
