Club History

In February, 1906 the plans for a new clubhouse were formed and accepted by members and the clubhouse reopened less than a year later. Further additions to the clubhouse were added over the years including staff quarters and in 2003 a major internal renovation project took place to modernize the growing requirements of members and guests.

The first place to be used as a clubhouse was a small thatched cottage rented from Maggie Leonard, it stood near the present 1st green. The first proper clubhouse was erected within two years of the club’s foundation on the site of the present building. Made of timber with a corrugated iron roof it measured only 57x47 feet. Fire ravaged the clubhouse and contents on December 30th, 1905. The then Honorary Secretary, W.C. Pickeman was also an insurance broker so it turned out the club was well insured.
