Royal Perth Golfing Society and County & City Club
Instituted as a golfing society within the City of Perth in 1824, Royal Perth has been meeting the needs and aspirations of its members continuously for nearly 200 years.
The Club has moved on three occasions over the years, the last time being in 1876 when it acquired its present premises in a Georgian crescent with fine views over the historic North Inch (site of the Battle of the Clans in 1396) to the majestic River Tay beyond.
Club premises provide comfortable dining and recreational facilities, with overnight accommodation as well.
Golf is still central to the ethos of the Club, although other sports and pastimes are now major attractions – clay target shooting, curling, bridge, walking, snooker and fishing. Social activities are equally prominent.

About the Club
The Perth Golfing Society was formed by a small number of Perth gentlemen at a meeting on 5th April 1824 in the Salutation Inn, Scotland’s oldest hotel.
Golf
The clubhouse premises overlook the North Inch where golf has been played, some say, for 500 years. Old Tom Morris was responsible for extending the course to 18 holes.
Accommodation
The top floor of the Club has been recently converted and upgraded into four letting bedrooms, three twin/double and one single, all en-suite.
Social Activities
The Club, with its comfortable atmosphere and splendid facilities, has a spacious and traditionally furnished lounge in which members and their guests can meet, relax and create friendships.
