Where2Golf says:
Royal Montrose Mercantile Golf Club's members and guests ply their golfing skills on the adjacent Montrose Links. The Club is one of only four 'Royals' in the UK that uses a public course shared with other golf clubs. The members of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, Royal Perth and Royal Epping Forest also play on shared public courses.
Royal Montrose Mercantile has traditionally provided 'open house' hospitality to visiting golfers to the Montrose Links golf courses, whether it is just to change before and after a round, or to utilise the bar and dining facilities. Visitors are welcome and can obtain the Club door entry code from the Pro Shop.
See our separate page ("Montrose") for more information on the Montrose Links golf courses.

Royal Montrose Mercantile Golf Club, founded on Jan 1, 1810 as the Montrose Golf Club, is reputedly the ninth oldest golf club in the world. In 2019, the club merged with its neighbour the Montrose Mercantile Golf Club (founded in 1879) to form the Royal Montrose Mercantile Golf Club. The new club is based in the old Royal Montrose GC clubhouse.
Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, conferred the Royal prefix on Montrose GC in 1845, making it the world's third oldest Royal golf club. By royal prerogative, 10 Scottish golf clubs use the "Royal" title, namely: Aberdeen, Royal & Ancient (St Andrews), Burgess, Dornoch, Duff House, Montrose, Musselburgh, Perth, Tarlair and Troon.

A magnificent stretch of marvellously natural ground which depicts how the game was born (Ben Crenshaw) >>> During our stay at the Open we played several courses as well as the Championship course at Montrose. Montrose was the best (A Jennings, York).
