Our History
Forfar Golf Club has the 4th oldest 18-hole course in the world and is the very first Club to have an 18-hole course from inception and inauguration. In 1871, Founding member James Brodie invited Tom Morris Snr to Forfar where he laid out an 18-hole golf course. This was the very first 18-hole course built from inception anywhere in the world. Tom Morris Snr was bestowed as an Honorary Member of the Forfar Golf Club and visited many times to play on the course that he designed based on the template of the 18-hole layout of the Old Course. The course underwent a redesign in 1926 by James Braid, however 13 of the original 1871 greens and holes are in the same if not very similar locations today.
Our Course
The Cunninghill course at Forfar is sited on beautiful wooded heathland. The terrain is almost 'links' like with undulating fairways lined by Scots Pine and lovely views towards the Angus Glens. With very little walking between green and next tee, generous fairways and excellent greens this compact course is easily completed in 3 hours and can be tackled twice in a day quite comfortably. The course has fairways that have the rig and furrow remaining from the time when the ground was used to cultivate flax. This gives the course its uniqueness and the fairways quite often present an up or down hill lie making the challenge of the course even more interesting!
