The Red House Hotel in Coupar Angus has once again been nominated for Best Budget Friendly Golf Hotel in the Scottish Golf Tourism Awards 2026.

The hotel regularly attracts golfing guests from all over the country, and has won the award twice before.

The awards aim to highlight and celebrate the outstanding achievements within the Scottish golf tourism industry. The scheme recognises the finest courses, hotels and experiences which have helped shape Scotland’s reputation as a world-class golfing destination.

Along with a variety of prestigious Championship courses, the awards uncover many hidden gems of parkland and links courses around the country. They also reward the huge contribution that hospitality offers to visiting golfers – a reflection of what constitutes a truly warm, Scottish welcome to tourists.

Red House Hotel owner, Alan Bannerman, said: “We are really looking forward to this year’s award ceremony once again. It’s always good to be nominated as we have a great night at the ceremony, networking with other hotels and golfing organisations.”

Alan explained that the Red House had experienced one of its strongest years last year, in terms of the number of golfing guests it had looked after.

He said: “We had the highest number of golfers come and stay with us. Being close to so many amazing golf courses means we have the edge location wise. 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.

“Best Budget Friendly Golf Hotel is exactly what we are about.

“We excel at giving golfers a fantastic value for money service. Our prices are affordable, meaning they can get away to golf with their friends, whilst our experienced staff really enjoy looking after them. We see many of the same faces repeatedly back to us year after year so we know we are doing something right.”

The Scottish Golf Tourism Awards Ceremony will take place at the National Museum of Scotland, in Edinburgh, on 12 March.
