read moreThe golfing boom towards the end of the 19th century spawned many new courses, including Willingdon. The history of our club really begins in 1898 when a group of local worthies, including the Marquess of Willingdon, put together a simple 9-hole layout with a corrugated iron hut as their Clubhouse. This course survived seven years or so until 1905, when the legendary J.H. Taylor was commissioned to redesign the layout to a more traditional 18 holes. In 1925, the celebrated Dr. Alister MacKenzie was called in to expand the layout and make more sense of the natural features of the land, and it is his course, largely unchanged, that we play today.
