1894
The club is founded
The original nine holes are laid out by Old Tom Morris of St Andrews — the father of the modern game.
Alyth · Perthshire · Scotland
Heathland golf,
shaped since 1894.
Two courses in the heart of Strathmore — a classic eighteen drawn by Old Tom Morris and finished by James Braid, and the nine-hole Glenisla alongside. One of Scotland's friendliest clubs.

A warm welcome
A hundred and thirty years of golf, and still the friendliest first tee in the county.
Set among pines, silver birch and heather a mile from the town of Alyth, this is precision golf in a tranquil Perthshire setting — where the design pedigree runs deep but the welcome is anything but stuffy. Members and visitors play side by side, and the clubhouse kitchen keeps the nineteenth hole every bit as good as the eighteenth.

The story of the club
Designed by the fathers of the game.
Few clubs can trace their fairways to both Old Tom Morris and James Braid. Ours can.
1934
James Braid extends the course
Five-time Open Champion James Braid completes the eighteen-hole heathland layout that members play today.
2006
A champion honoured
The 18th is renamed to celebrate Kevin McAlpine's Scottish Amateur Championship win — followed in 2007 by the Scottish Stroke-play title. A unique double.
2016
Glenisla joins the family
The club takes on the back nine of the original Glenisla course — a second layout with true greens and water in play.
Twenty-seven holes
Two courses, one membership.
The championship eighteenThe Alyth Course
18 holes · Par 70 · 6,264 yards
A classic heathland eighteen laid out through pines, silver birch and heather. Old Tom Morris drew the original nine in 1894; James Braid completed the course in 1934. It rewards precision over power — position off the tee is everything.

The second courseThe Glenisla Course
9 holes · Par 35 · 3,078 yards
Taken on by the club in 2016, Glenisla is a genuine second course — greens kept to the same standard as the main eighteen, with water features and open Strathmore views. Play nine, or loop it as a full eighteen from different tees. No mats, full greens, all winter.
