In 1905 a group of local businessmen had the foresight to establish an 18-hole golf course on land overlooking the spa town of Llandrindod Wells to service the needs of the thousands of visitors that flocked to the town to “take the waters”.
The course was designed by six times open champion Harry Vardon, and altered some years later by James Braid, to produce, essentially, the superb course of 18 challenging holes, almost 5800 yards in length (par 69), that you see today.
Inaugurated in 1907 with a match between Vardon, James Braid and the legendary J H Taylor, this Club undoubtedly has an impeccable ancestry. Host club from 1954 to 1961 to the Welsh Boys’ Championships and from 2000 to the present time to the Welsh Golfing Union’s Individual Handicap Championship this mature and traditional course offers memorable golf and a warm welcome to all visitors.
It is pleasing to note that almost one hundred years later the club is showing the same initiative and foresight, as the founders, in further developing the Club and course for the rigours and demands of the 21 st Century, with the construction of a floodlit driving range, on land adjacent to the first fairway, and the enlargement of the Clubhouse to include modern changing facilities for both ladies and gents and during 2005 the provision of electric buggies to make playing this superb course even more attractive.
However one of the major achievements for the Club has been its nomination as winner in the Welsh Golfing Union/Towergate Leisure WELSH GOLF CLUB OF THE YEAR 2004 competition.
