In a great start to its competitive year, the family-owned Red House Hotel in Coupar Angus has once again been nominated for Best Budget Friendly Golf Hotel in the Scottish Golf Tourism Awards 2025.
The Bannerman family, the Red House Hotel’s proprietors for the past forty years, were delighted to win this same award in 2024, and are now hoping to ‘do the double’ in 2025.
“We’re really looking forward to this year’s award ceremony, and are keeping our fingers crossed that we can keep the title which really means the world to us here at the Red House Hotel,” said Alan Bannerman.
“Last year we were told by the judges that we ‘best catered for the needs of visiting golfers, enjoyed a strong location, with excellent accessibility to numerous local golf courses, excelled at customer service, offered great value dining at an affordable price, and generally delivered a positive experience for all guests’.
“This was absolutely incredible feedback to receive, so hopefully, it will be similarly positive this year.”
The Scottish Golf Tourism Awards aim to celebrate achievements within the Scottish golf tourism industry, recognising the various fine courses, hotels and experiences that have helped shape Scotland’s reputation as a world-class golfing destination.
Bannerman explained that the Red House Hotel’s ‘value for money’ golfing packages put visiting golfers in a perfect position to make the most of the many top-notch courses around Blairgowrie area and beyond.
“Being close to so many amazing golf courses means we have the edge location wise,” said Alan. “Blairgowrie Golf Course, just along the road, with its two fantastic courses, is a tremendous venue. We always try to offer our guests the best preferential rates at time of booking for a whole host of courses throughout the area.”
This year’s Scottish Golf Tourism Awards ceremony is to be held at P&J Live, Aberdeen, on Thursday 20th March, as part of the annual Scottish Golf Tourism Week.
After the awards, the Red House staff will be heading into another busy golfing break season.
Alan added: “It’s year round trade now, but it really ‘tees off’ properly after Easter, so it will be all hands to the pump.”
