New Golf – Castle Stuart Golf Club

Gordon Dalgleish

Historically golf courses in the British Isles take a number of seasons to grow in and the comments we hear from travelers will generally be, “I enjoyed it but a bit raw”. The reality of a short growing season causes everything to take a little longer than many places in the USA to mature. Enter Castle Stuart which is the brainchild of one of the original developers of Kingsbarns near St.Andrews. The reviews since opening in July, 2009 from PerryGolf clients have been universally excellent. Links Magazine have a wonderful article on this great new addition to the Scottish golf scene. My sense is that it will be recognized as one of the great additions to Scottish golf in the months and years ahead. To view the article, click here.

Chez Rouz in Inverness

Gordon Dalgleish

Opened in April, 2009 Chez Roux in Inverness is located within the Rocpool Reserve Hotel www.rocpool.com. The owner is the renowned chef Albert Roux OBE. As part of our ongoing process we always seek feedback from clients on all of their travel experiences and without exception this restaurant has received rave reviews from PerryGolf clients.

In addition to an extremely high quality of dining experience, clients have commented on the excellent value for money and the wine list also reasonably priced. The website provides much detail with menus and prices.

In addition to smaller groups who have dined there we had a group of 20 travelers in July who were visiting some of the finest establishments in Scotland and all commented that Chez Rouz was their very best meal.

If you have not been to Inverness in recent years it is worth a visit. Much has changed in the city and it has a contemporary buzz to it.

Auckland Airport – Arrivals

Gordon Dalgleish

Due to it’s geographic isolation, New Zealand is very wary of visitors bringing disease to it’s shores…and this extends to your golf shoes and carrying turf ailments. When you back for a trip to New Zealand, be ready to show the customs officer a clean pair of golf shoes with no mud or grass from your last round of golf. If he sees anything which concerns him, be prepared to either abandon your shoes or clean them in front of the customs officer!
