King James VI was formed in 1858 and moved
from the North Inch to Moncreiffe Island in 1897. The club was named after King
James VI in tribute to the King's encouragement of 'gowf' after it had been banned
by his predecessors. Locals understand that the King James VI is the only club
in the world to be named after previous Monarch, and one of only two golf courses
situated on an island in a river. 
The
course is a well drained with a wide variety of trees bordering very lush fairways.
The River Tay surrounds the course, although water is not always obvious as trees
line many of the banks. A hook at several holes will, however, almost certainly
join a choice collection of balls in a watery grave. Designed by Old Tom Morris,
King James VI provides a welcoming challenge to the visitor, in one of the most
unique settings in Scottish golf.
