Founded
|
| The club
was founded in 1972 by a group of local businessmen. A plot of land was bought and Richard Barry, a well known
local GUI member designed a 9 hole layout.
Through a voluntary labour scheme the founding members acted as
labourers, and general ‘dogsbodies’ to landscape and develop the course. From these humble beginnings the club flourished and further
land was purchased enabling the course to expand to a full 18 hole layout in
1994.
