Founded in 1890 by a group of 12 enthusiasts

The course, initially 9 holes, was opened in early 1891 after considerable effort in removing gorse, and, exceptionally for the time, Ladies were also admitted as members.

Since its formation, the course has undergone many changes. The first layout was laid out on the Whitchurch side of the Down soon became 18 holes and was considerably lengthened in 1914 to take account of the new and improved rubber cored golf balls. The course is now in its fourth different layout moving gradually to its present position on the north and east side of the Down.
