Killin Golf Club was founded in 1911 by a group
of dedicated farmers, tradesmen, merchants and professional people, to provide a golf
course for the community and for summer visitors. They could not have chosen a more
glorious setting for the course, resting as it does at the start of beautiful Glen Lochay
with its river sweeping past the first fairway to end shortly in Loch Tay. Playing golf in
the midst of such breathtaking scenery is a unique experience.The main structure of the
present Clubhouse dates from 1922 and was build from money raised locally, one fund
raising event of note being a concert given in Killin by singers from the famous Covent
Garden Opera Company in London.Although now somewhat longer than the original course, as
designed by the Stirling Golf Professional Mr. John Duncan, the original features still
remain - four par 3's, four par 4's and a par 5 hole often described as the most scenic
closing hole in Scotland.Killin offers the best excuse ! for not keeping the head down
while playing golf.
