An 18-hole (6,264 yd) heathland layout, Alyth Golf Club was established in1894. The original 9 holes were designed by the master Old Tom Morris of St Andrews with James Braid completing the extension in 1934.

Playing the course demands constant attention as a combination of tree lined fairways and diverse rolling terrain make the emphasis on precision golf rather than distance, although both are required.

Alyth’s most demanding aspect however, might be it’s tranquil setting. Within the pines, silver birch and heather or overlooking the nearby hills, it is easy to lose yourself in the joys of a good game of golf with a layout so conceived that you barely notice other groups of golfers.
