The north inch has been a golfing venue for over 500 years and is one of the oldest in the world. The north inch course, situated on the banks of the river tay in the north inch parkland, poses a friendly experience for players of all abilities. The new layout of the course was designed by old tom morris, and since it is just a short iron shot from perth's classical georgian city, most scottish golfers can reach it in under an hour. The north inch golf course is open to local golfers seven days a week and provides some of the highest value golf in perthshire.
