Welcome to Dunning Golf Club
Situated below the slopes of the Ochil hills the lovely Perthshire village of Dunning is steeped in history, from the Iron Age fort at Dun Knock, through the 1st Century Roman camp at Kincladie to a monument commemorating the last witch in Scotland, Maggie Wall, who was burnt in 1657. Add a 17th century St Serf’s church and the famous 9th century Pictish Dupplin Cross and you will be playing golf at one of Scotland’s ancient settlements.
In 1907 a group of local people cut into the hill above the village at Mains of Pitcairns Farm and along the Dunning burn to create 9 holes of golf.

In 1946 Lord Rollo of Pitcairn gifted the villagers the Alley Park to be used for all sporting and recreational purposes, it was to be named the Rollo Park. A new committee was formed and at the cost of £3 a plan was drawn up by Joe Anderson of Perth to create 9 holes. After a great deal of hard work, sweat and toil a course was laid out.
Joe Anderson’s daughter Jessie Valentine became one of Britain’s most successful lady golfers between the 30’s and the 60’s.
In 1954 Lord Rollo opened the new clubhouse and is an Honorary President to this day. From these early days the Course has developed into one the finest and most challenging 9 hole courses in central Scotland.
Views of the Ochil hills that take your breath away , the Rossie Law Iron Age Fort and surrounding landscape to wards Gleneagles and the north make it difficult to concentrate on golf. The Dunning burn meanders through the course with four unique bridges named after club stalwarts adding attractive features to the narrow tree lined fairways, well place bunkers making this Par 66, 4894 yard 9 hole course a challenge to golfers of all levels.
A friendly welcome greets visitors who come back time and again to play and enjoy the ambience of this lovely course set in one of Perthshire’s most picturesque areas.
