Welcome to Alva Golf Club
The foundations of Alva Golf Course namely, Longbank Park was first leased from Miss Caroline Johnstone in the spring of 1900 for the formation of a golf course, Few people could have imagined that a century later Alva Golf Club would still be going strong at the foot of the Ochil Hills.
From its humble beginning as an addition to the town’s tourist attractions, to the modern day demands placed upon it as a Golf Club, its survival can be credited to the many volunteers who throughout the years have sacrificed their time, for both its continuation and development.
On the numerous pages of this website you will find information from 1900 to the present day. Recent information like, results 2009, fixtures, facilities, location, course layout, and indeed the complete 38 page centenary brochure online. Enjoy!
