The course was designed by Tom Vardon with his famous brother Harry marking out the bunkers. It was formally opened in 1912 with Harry Vardon and James Braid playing exhibition matches. 

Over the years the course has undergone many changes and improvements, and we continute to improve the course and experience for our members and visitors daily. 

In 1994 the Club undertook a reconstruction of all of the course bunkers. The opportunity was also taken to resite the bunkers to combat the greater distances that modern equipment enables the ball to travel through the air and this major project was completed early in 1998. 

The course is 6590 yards in length with a Par of 73 and SSS of 73 (white tees) made up of 5 par 5’s, 9 par 4’s and 4 par 3’s.
