Onneley Golf Club was formed in 1968 as a 9 hole course to the rear of the Wheatsheaf Inn. The owner of the Wheatsheaf at that time was also the Clubs landlord and the car park served both the golf club and the wheatsheaf.

In the mid 1980's the club established a development fund, which enabled the club to negotiate the purchase of the land that the course used along with the clubhouse. The purchase of both assets were made possible through self funding  in 1993.  The club's drive for growth meant that further development was needed and In 1997 the club purchased extra land adjoining the current layout to create and developed a further four holes and increase the course to 13 holes, with the added bonus of a practice ground. The four extra holes came into play in 1999, at the same time that the car park was purchased from the original landlord.

In early part of 2002 the committee felt that the ultimate dream of Onneley becoming an 18 hole course needed to be fulfilled. Through negotiation with two local landowners of land adjoining the course, land was purchased redesigned and developed and the course was extend to the18 hole course that it is today. The development program took just two years from procurement of the land and Onneley Golf  Club opened its 18 hole course in May  2005.

The Club is relatively modest but is renowned for its welcome and friendliness.
During the past 12 years, the Club has progressed from a club owning nothing, to one which owns its 18 hole course, a clubhouse and a car park.

Onneley is a private members club and everything is done for the benefit of the members.
Developments to the club continue with the much needed extension and redevelopment to the Club House to include a new kitchen, dining room and changing facilities
