The Royal Perth Golfing Society, or its full name of The Royal Perth Golfing Society & County and City Club, is a golfing and gentleman's club in Perth, Scotland, with premises overlooking the North Inch.
History[]
The Perth Golfing Society was formed in 1824.
In 1833 King William IV granted the Society his Royal Patronage. This was the very first grant of royal patronage to a Golfing Society, one year before The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. There are now over 60 clubs throughout the world entitled to use the name 'Royal'.
H.R.H. The Duke of York is the Club's current Patron.
