Cupar Golf Club is considered to be the oldest 9 hole golf club in the country, being instituted on the 7th November 1855. The original course was at Tailabout farm and was laid out by the celebrated Alan Robertson of St Andrews. The club moved to its present site in 1892, and on the 21st December 1907 the present clubhouse was opened and the facade remains in its original state.
It is natural that a club with such a lengthy history should possess many valuable trophies. One of the most cherished is the Richardson Scratch Medal presented to the club in 1855. The Hutchison Medal was gifted by Col. Hutchison of Fife Militia in 1856. The peripatetic Cup dating back to last century is on display in the St Andrews Golf Museum. In later years additional trophies have been donated by various members, and a vast array of silverware now exists to cater for the very competitive nature of the clubs 400+ members. Many famous names have graced the scrolls of this club, Bob Peattie was Midlands champion in 1923 and British Boys champion in l924 Charlie Todd won the Victory Cup and Duke of York Cup in the Eden Tournament and Bobby Reid (ex-Chairman of British Rail) was the one armed champion of Britain in 1954.
