Golf

Golf SectionThe clubhouse premises overlook the North Inch in Perth where golf has been played since the early 19th century. Records confirm that Club matches and competitions were played on both the South and North Inches early after its formation in 1824, but the sole remaining course on the North Inch is where home matches are usually played. Recently modernised changing and shower facilities in the Club premises are available for the use of members and their guests.
