Edzell Golf Club is situated in the village of Edzell, midway between the cities of Dundee and Aberdeen in at the foothills of the Angus Glens with the nearby mountains forming a backdrop to this lovely heathland-parkland golf course. The original course was laid out in 1895 and redesigned by recommendations from James Braid in 1933/34. The layout is now complemented by the 9 hole West Water Course which was brought into play in 2001. Originally a heathland, a major tree-planting programme started in the 1960s which has brought a parkland air and picturesque setting to the course.
