Kemnay Golf Club dates back to 1908, when local members laid out a 9-hole course. This track remained in play for over eighty years, until 45 acres of land finally became available to expand the course to a full 18-hole layout in 1992. When this extended course opened a couple of years later, it comprised three of the original holes, followed by ten new holes, finishing with another five from the old 9-hole track.
Very soon after this, another twenty-six acres were acquired, bringing about another construction phase, which saw another three new holes built (as 6, 7 and 8) with holes 2 and 3 combined to form a new par five 2nd. At the opening of the new clubhouse in 1999, only four of the original holes were left in play. More recently, in 2013, the 18th was redesigned as a par three closing hole for safety reasons, leaving only three of the old nine still in use at holes 1, 16 and 17. The 18th hole was also moved from the roadside to the rear of the clubhouse.
Today, “Mount Keen,” the 428-yard 17th remains the toughest hole on the course, played to a green that sits behind a wee burn. On the front nine, “Lord’s Throat,” the 464-yard 7th is another demanding par four which doglegs right from tee to green.
