Only a short drive from Scotland's central belt, Aberfeldy is a beautiful parkland course in the heart of Highland Perthshire. Come for the day, play your round of golf and then enjoy some good food and drink in our friendly clubhouse. The original Aberfeldy golf course was 9 holes and ran along the south side of the River Tay. It was laid out on what was then known as The Cour - grazing ground for cattle. In 1907, Sir Neil Menzies offered to rent the club Weem Cow Park, on the north side of the river, to make the course 18 holes. Negotiations failed and in 1908, the lady members proposed extending the course onto ground at Killiechassie, further east on the north side of the river. That also came to nothing. It was not until 1991 that the Weem Cow Park was finally purchased by the club. A new footbridge was built over the river and the course became the 18 holes which we play on today. The new course was opened in time for the club's centenary celebrations in 1995.

Played the course during a recent visit. It is a 9-hole course with crossing fairways and no shared greens (unlike the Old course at Saint Andrews). For 122 years old, it is in better shape than many of the courses I play in the U.S. I used rented clubs and didn't worry about score. I focused on getting the opportunity to play on a traditional Scottish course. maybe the next trip, I'll plan better and get a tee time at Carnoustie or St Andrews.
