Duff House Royal Golf Club: Where Tradition Meets Challenge
Discover the golfing gem of the North of Scotland - Duff House Royal Golf Club. Designed by the renowned Dr Alister MacKenzie, who later created the iconic Augusta National, our Championship Course is a testament to his brilliance. Ranked just outside the Top 50 courses in Scotland, our club boasts the challenging two-tier greens that inspired Augusta National, giving you a chance to experience golfing history right here in Banff.
Nestled amidst a beautifully manicured parkland setting, the course offers breathtaking glimpses of the Moray Firth. With the famous River Deveron bordering five holes and flowing into the sea through the majestic Banff Bridge, the backdrop to the closing holes is nothing short of picturesque. It's no surprise that our course demands a formidable scratch of 68, even for the most skilled players.
Duff House, a grand 18th-century classical country house, adds to the allure of our club. Managed by Historic Scotland, it houses an impressive collection of fine paintings and furniture from the National Galleries of Scotland. As the only Royal golf club to have the Royal title as a suffix rather than a prefix, we pay homage to Louise, the Princess Royal, through this unique distinction.
While golf takes center stage, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional hospitality and dining experiences. Our clubhouse offers all the amenities you need, including easy parking, buggy hire, visitors' locker rooms, and a place to unwind after a fulfilling day on the course. You might even spot Sky Sports' Ewen Murray on the banks or joining in on the action.
Founded in 1910, Duff House Royal Golf Club has a rich history, and its 18 holes, par 68, and 6,092 yards from the White tees make it a challenging yet rewarding course. Under the guidance of our resident ex-tour professional, James Calam, we provide top-notch pro shop services, equipment hire, and tuition facilities.
To hone your skills, we offer practice areas with nets, putting greens, chipping zones, and bunkers. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or just beginning your golfing journey, Duff House Royal Golf Club promises an unforgettable experience, where golf and hospitality come together to create the perfect day on and off the greens.
