List of golf clubs granted Royal status

[6] King Edward VII granted the Royal status to the Automobile Club.

Likewise the similarly named Royal Copenhagen Golf Club's (Danish: Københavns Golf Klub) only connection with royalty is that the national park, which today includes the golf club, was established by the Danish King Christian V in the late 17th century, and King Frederik III's castle sits near the 16th hole.

[7] The course is also located in Kongens Lyngby, Danish for "the King's Heather Town".

There is no evidence to show that the golf course has been granted a charter or similar document.

[8] With some exceptions, Belgian golf clubs automatically adopt the title of Royal after they have been in operation for 50 years.

The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews is possibly the most known "Royal" golf club in the world, although not the earliest: that honour belongs to the Royal Perth Golfing Society .
