Forfar Golf Club
DG SCOTLAND 2024 Editor, Kevin Markham
An unsung hero, Forfar has unique traits that make it a very special place indeed. Is it heathland or parkland? What about those rolling links-like fairways? What it is, is a sweet
combination of elements that promises a remarkable golf experience where every step is chaperoned by towering pines with an undergrowth of heathland whin and broom. The
heathland attributes don’t end there, though, and the tight turf is a joy to play off. But don’t expect an even lie… Forfar is renowned for its bumpy terrain that ripples sharply across fairways, with endless dips steering you through the subtlest of
doglegs.
Did You Know?
The mesmerising and rippling undulations that are
a unique feature of Forfar’s fairways are known as
‘rig and furrow’.
