Perthshire Golf Clubs - Aberfeldy



Aberfeldy Golf Club was founded in 1895 and, until 1995, was a nine hole course which ran along the south bank of the River Tay. In 1993 the Club decided to extend the course to eighteen holes. In order to do this a bridge had to be built across the river and, almost a century to the day that the course originally opened, the new course was opened to members and the public. The new course runs on either side of the River Tay and has the unique attraction of allowing players to cross the historic river via its own private bridge, which is listed in the Guiness Book of Records.
