The course, which sets a very demanding scratch of 68 even for the elite, is set in a beautiful, manicured parkland setting which surprises with glimpses of the Moray Firth.

The famous River Deveron, the challenge to many an angler, borders five holes and flows into the sea through the seven-span Banff Bridge, and forms the backdrop to the closing holes. Honorary member Ewen Murray of Sky Sports can often be found on the banks if not on the course.

Nestling within the borders of the tree-lined course is Duff House, considered one of the grandest classical country houses built in the 18th century. It is managed by Historic Scotland and contains fine paintings and furniture on loan from the National Galleries of Scotland.

Duff House Royal Golf Club – the only Royal golf club where the Royal title is used as a suffix and not a prefix. It is believed the reason for the royal title being a suffix to Duff House was a tribute to Louise, who was known as the Princess Royal, not the Royal Princess
