Phoenix Golf Club

Phoenix Golf Club was officially founded on first January 1932 by the workers of local steelmaking company, Steel Peech & Tozer although hearsay has it that golfers played golf on a few holes some time prior to this. The membership at this time comprised of just 22 founder members. It is recorded that four gentlemen went to management of Steel Peech & Tozer and asked if they could be given permission to evolve an area of scrubland and former arable land into a golf course.
