Duff House Royal Golf Club is a Championship Course and one of the best golf courses in Aberdeenshire. Located in Banff, Scotland it was founded in 1910 and is designed by Dr Alister MacKenzie. It was founded as the Duff House Golf Club and became the Duff House Royal Golf Club after subsequently receiving royal patronage, at the request of Princess Louise, Dowager Duchess of Fife, in 1925.[1][2]

There are 66 golf clubs around the world that have adopted the royal title from the British Royal Family.[1][3] The first golf club to be conferred the title was the Royal Perth Golfing Society in 1833, followed by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews in 1834. Duff House Royal Golf Club – the only royal golf club where the royal title is used as a suffix and not a prefix.[4] 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.

In 2014, the club featured in a book commissioned by the R&A to mark Her Majesty The Queen's Diamond Jubilee - Golf's Royal Clubs Honoured by The British Royal Family 1833-2013[5] by Scott Macpherson[4]
