The Royal Perth Golfing Society and 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.
The long and proud history of the Club has been well documented in the Reverend T.D. Miller's History of 1935, and John S.G Blair's History of 1997.
