Welcome To "The Island"

By Martin Butler, 12th May 2007

The country's only self-contained river island golf course, King James VI Golf Club offers a beautiful but challenging environment for both novices and advanced players alike.

Founded in 1858 nearby at Perth's South Inch, then relocated to Moncrieffe Island, elsewhere in Perth, in 1897, and a purpose-built golf course designed by 'Old' Tom Morris, the legendary winner of multiple British Open Golf Championships.

Nowadays the golf course is a popular destination for local and visiting players, and welcomes all comers to its unique and spectacular Perthshire setting.
