Welcome to Forfar
Golf Club
18 holes from inception –
a course carved by history.
Forfar Golf Club is a course like no other. Set in a remarkable landscape, this course is a unique challenge, with undulations defined by time, and refined by Old Tom Morris.
Set on land ploughed by monks as far back as the 12th century, Forfar Golf Course stands as the best example of rig and furrow architecture anywhere in the world. Famed for its gravity-defying undulations, the lies and angles here offer a true test for golfers as well as a walk through time.
In 1871, Old Tom Morris designed Forfar Golf Course as an 18-hole course from inception, changing the face of golf forever, and making Forfar the template for every course designed thereafter. Forfar brought the 18-hole course to the sport, and its significance and unique character make it a must-play even today.
Visitor tee times are available.
Course
The world’s first 18-hole course by design, Old Tom Morris used the land’s natural contours to craft a course of imagination, variety, and strategic brilliance. Many of Morris’ greens remain in play today, making it one of the most authentically preserved Victorian golf courses in the world.
