Murrayshall Country Estate & Golf Club, in Scone, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, features two 20th-century golf courses surrounding a 17th-century house. [3] The golf courses were completed in 1981, [4] having received approval from the Tayside Planning and Development Committee in 1976. [5] Located approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Perth Airport, the two golf courses are Murrayshall and Lynedoch.
The architect of Murrayshall Course was J. Hamilton Stutt (1924–2008). [6]
The 41-bedroom Murrayshall House was built by Andrew Murray, son of Andrew Murray, 1st Lord Balvaird, [3] in 1664. The building, which was later owned by Francis Norie-Miller, was put on the market for £4 million in 2015. It was voted Central Scotland and Fife's Golf Hotel of the Year shortly beforehand. [7] Hetherly Capital Partners purchased the property in 2016, and later undertook a £10-million regeneration project, to a design by Fergus Purdie Architects. [8] [9]
In 2021, the new owners submitted plans to: add a further fifty rooms to its hotel, create a golf academy and driving range, build fifty new homes, forty self-catering cottages and twenty-five tree houses or glamping pods. [10]
