Dunkeld & Birnam Golf Club

Dunkeld and Birnam Golf Club, in Highland Perthshire, plays over 5,511 yards to a par of 69 across its eighteen holes. The club was constituted in 1892, with the original course laid out in the village of Birnam by Old Tom Morris, one of the most influential figures in the early history of golf course design. The present course, at Fungarth near Dunkeld, continues that heritage more than a century later, set within the wooded, riverside landscape that characterises this stretch of Perthshire around the River Tay. Visitors are welcomed alongside members, with buggies available for those who prefer not to walk the course, and the clubhouse provides catering to golfers before or after their round. Membership options sit alongside visitor green fees, making the club accessible to golfers passing through the area as well as those based locally. Dunkeld itself is a small cathedral town at the edge of the Highlands, long a staging point for travellers heading north through Perthshire, and the golf club's history stretches back to the same Victorian period that established the town as a tourist destination. The combination of Old Tom Morris's original design lineage and the Tay-side setting gives the club a distinct place among Perthshire's older courses.
