Origins

The club was constituted in 1892 and initially played at Birnam on a course designed by Old Tom Morris.

Did You Know?
The original Dunkeld and Birnam course was designed by Old Tom Morris, but it was not on the same site as today's course.

Design Philosophy

The current hillside layout uses substantial elevation change, gullies, burns, woodland and natural landforms. The official hole guide repeatedly presents choices between conservative positioning and more aggressive lines.

Development

The present course at Fungarth replaced the original Birnam layout and was officially opened in 1922 by the Duchess of Atholl. The club says many improvements have been made since while retaining its local character.

Today

Dunkeld and Birnam remains an 18-hole visitor-friendly Highland Perthshire club with online bookings and a detailed official hole guide.
