The original full course in its present location was laid out in 1909 and was formally opened by a match between two of the great 'Triumvirate' - JH Taylor and James Braid. In 1952 the club amalgamated with the declining Banff Golf Club and played on a course reconstructed by the brilliant Golf Architect's Dr A and Major C.A Mackenzie whose next task was to be the designing of Augusta National Course in Georgia, home of the U.S Masters. The first official exhibition match played on Duff House Royal's existing course was between the British and U.S.A Open Champion Ted Ray and the famous British Professional, Sandy Hird. The clubhouse has commanding views over the first and last holes. Large comfortable bar and lounge areas with one side completely window area.
Private tuition is available.
