Tillicoultry is an attractive parkland course in a spectacular setting at the base of the Ochil hills, affording fine views over the Devon Valley from its upper section. The short holes are a special feature of this course. The third, 'Couthie Corner', has a well-elevated tee and plays to a green guarded by bunkers at the front and to the right while a large beech tree and out-of-bounds punish wayward shots on the left.

The sixth and 15th, 'Brugglie Bank', plays 84-yards on the first circuit of the course and 143-yards on the second. Despite its modest length this hole is no pushover as the green is tiny and protected by a burn on its front edge.
