Royal Montrose Mercantile Golf Club

Royal Montrose Mercantile Golf Club First founded in 1810, Royal Montrose Mercantile Golf Club is a welcoming golf club for new members.

Founded in 1810 as the Montrose Golf Club we are the 9th oldest golf club in the world. In 1845 Prince Albert graciously granted his Royal Patronage on the club being only the 3rd Royal patronage and subsequently we changed our name to The Royal Albert Golf Club. In 1866 our club held the only 25 hole professional event which included old Tom Morris, and was won by amateur William Doleman. In 1908 Montrosian Alex Findlay persuaded our 2nd Professional Chay Burgess to emigrate to USA and become the Professional at the Woodland Golf Club Massachusets where he coached celebrity members including Al Johnson, Babe Ruth & Bing Crosby. However he is most famous for coaching amateur Francis Quimet who was the fist amateur to win the US Open in 1913 which is acknowledged as being the major development of golf in America. In 1866 the Royal Albert was one of 21 clubs that contributed to the purchase of the British Amateur Championship trophy. In 1986 the Royal Albert Golf Club, the Victoria Golf Club and the North Links Ladies Golf Club, all merged to form the Royal Montrose Golf Club which welcomes all men, ladies & Junior members. In 2019 the Royal Montrose Golf Club and the Montrose Mercantile Golf Club merged to create the Royal Montrose Mercantile Golf Club

Friendship Cup – A Memorable Visit to Utah

Five members of Royal Montrose Mercantile Golf Club travelled to Utah from 10th to 19th September to take part in the Friendship Cup against our American counterparts.

The group comprised Captain Peter Wood, Keith Norman, Jamie Pert, Graham Robb and Scott Henderson.

Friendship Cup participants were given the opportunity to join the choir for a memorable rehearsal—a unique start to what would prove to be an unforgettable trip.

The competition began with the four-balls on Monday, followed by the singles on Tuesday. What followed was an extremely closely fought contest, with neither side prepared to give an inch. When the final matches had been completed, the competition finished in a tie.

In true Ryder Cup tradition, the trophy was therefore retained by the visitors from Scotland, ensuring that the Friendship Cup would be returning to Scotland.

The final leg of the trip saw the group travel to Las Vegas for an overnight stay before making the journey home on Saturday, 19th September.

Looking back, we feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to participate in the Friendship Cup, and it was a tremendous honour for Royal Montrose Mercantile Golf Club.

The welcome we received, and the way in which we were looked after throughout our visit, went far beyond our expectations. The warmth, generosity and friendship shown to us by our American counterparts were truly exceptional, and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone involved in making the trip such a memorable experience.

While the competition was important, the real success of the Friendship Cup lay in the friendships forged and strengthened between our two golfing communities.

Looking ahead, we are delighted to welcome our American friends to Montrose on 1st June 2027. We very much hope that we can return the wonderful hospitality shown to us in Utah and give our American friends an equally memorable Scottish experience.

Many congratulations to Team Montrose: Edna Wallwork, Doreen Leask, Janice Fleming & Sharon Young, who triumphed over Team Carnoustie, at Monifieth Golf Links, on Friday 18th September to become Angus County Ladies’ champions 2026! 🎉 👏👏

Their route to the final saw them beat Monifieth at home, Panmure GC at Panmure & Downfield GC, also an Away match (special shout out to Fiona Bacon for stepping in to play in the semi-final at very short notice 🤩).

The ladies will be presented with the Shepherd Quaich at the Angus Ladies County Golf Association (ALCGA) Prize Giving dinner later this year.

Very well done, ladies! We’re proud of you!
