The Green Hotel, Golf & Leisure Resort

The Green Hotel is a traditional Scottish coaching inn dating back to the eighteenth century, sitting just across the road from Kinross Golf Club's two championship courses. It is a historic property with plenty of character, the kind of place that feels rooted in its surroundings rather than polished to a modern resort finish. That works well for golfers who want a genuine Scottish experience without the corporate feel of larger hotel complexes.

Rooms are traditional in style and geared to golfers who want a comfortable base rather than a glossy resort feel. They are well-maintained, with enough space for your kit, and the focus is on hospitality rather than luxury. If you are travelling as a group, it is worth requesting twins early and asking about space for clubs. The hotel is used to hosting golf groups, so they understand the logistics of early starts, packed lunches and keeping clubs secure overnight.

There are two dining options on site. Basil's Grill is the main restaurant, offering a more formal setting with a menu built around Scottish produce and classic grill dishes. It is a solid choice for evening meals, particularly after a long day on the course when you want something substantial. The menu covers steaks, fish, game and vegetarian options, with a decent wine list to match. For something more relaxed, Jock's Bar Coaching Inn serves lighter fare in a traditional pub setting, with a menu that covers everything from sandwiches and bar snacks to hearty mains. It is the kind of spot where you can grab a quick bite between rounds or settle in for a pint and a burger after your final putt.

The Courtyard Bar is the natural post-round gathering spot, with a good selection of drinks and a laid-back atmosphere that suits groups and couples alike. It is where most golfers end up after their round, swapping stories and settling bets before heading in for dinner. If you are here with a society, it is worth asking about private dining or group menus, as the hotel can usually accommodate larger parties with a bit of notice.

The hotel's location is one of its strongest assets. You are a short walk from both golf courses, with direct access to the Loch Leven Heritage Trail if you want to stretch your legs between rounds. The estate itself is vast, offering plenty of space to unwind, and the surrounding Perthshire countryside is worth exploring if you have got time. For golfers planning a longer trip, the hotel works well as a base for touring central Scotland, with easy access to courses in Fife, Perthshire and beyond. If you are putting together a central Scotland itinerary, it is an easy one to slot into a longer Perthshire and Fife tour.
