The Golf Club was Founded in 1858 nearby at Perth's South Inch, but relocated to its current home on Moncreiffe Island in 1897, making it one of the oldest surviving Golf Clubs in the UK. Purpose-built, and believed to be the only Inland Island Golf Course in the country, it was designed by 'Old' Tom Morris, the legendary winner of multiple British Open Golf Championships.

The origins of golf in Perth are obscure, as they are for the rest of Scotland, but it is likely they date to the fifteenth century. National bans on golf and football, designed to promote the practise of archery, were made in 1458, 1471 and 1491. In 1502, the first recorded purchase of golf equipment, a set of golf clubs costing thirteen shillings, was made by king James IV from a bow-maker in Perth.
This hole is not a long one, measuring only 362 yards off the white tees, but it demands accurate shot-making. The river runs down the left side from tee to green. If you play safe down the right hand side you risk a bunker, a number of trees and short but thickish rough. If your drive does find the fairway, your troubles are not over as the green is well protected on both sides.
