Roehampton Club

Welcome to Glencoe-affiliate Roehampton Club in southwest London, UK. Set in 100 acres of quiet parkland, this unique private members' sports club on the edge of Richmond Park is a quick 20-minute train ride from famous Waterloo Station in central London.

There’s a beautifully re-designed (2011) 18-hole golf course here. In addition, members and guests can play tennis (28 courts), croquet (four lawns) and squash (five courts). Two swimming pools (indoor and outdoor), a state-of-the-art gym, fitness studio and health and beauty clinic round out the facilities.

Weddings, parties, conferences and retreats are available to both members and non-members. Plan a small, intimate dinner for business partners or an all-employee event on a grand scale if you want! The Club’s flexible spaces can accommodate you.

Roehampton Club was established in 1901 as a polo venue. One of the British Broadcasting Corporation's (BBC) earliest outdoor broadcasts was carried out from the Club over three days in July 1938. The programming covered a variety of sporting events: tennis, archery, diving, riding, polo, croquet and golf.

The Club's unique sporting heritage has continued until today. Tennis legends through the 1950's — Angela Mortimer, Christine Truman, Margaret Court and Evonne Goolagong — all won Open Hard Court titles here and Andy Murray started winning grass court titles from the age of 15 in our Club Med Championships.

This is a Club that proudly encourages and develops young sporting talent as a priority. Member Samantha Fuller (17) was Roehampton Club Ladies Golf Champion and European Age Group Champion at the age of 13. Samantha is now a member of the England Girls Squad and represented England in the French U21 Champs. Younger sister Annabell (13), who is also a Club member, is on England Golf's U16 regional south squad. She recently scored success with a 10-shot win in the 12-13-year-old girls' championship in the US Junior Honda Classic.

The Legacy Project

Get to know some lifelong Glencoe members ... as they share their memories and love of the Club.

Q. Please tell us your name and how long you’ve been a member. My name is Evelyn Wigham and I have been a member of the Glencoe Club (laughing) I would say (on and off) for close to 35 years. That’s a guess, but it’s been quite a while!

Q. What sports have you enjoyed here? My (sport and strength) was tennis. At that time, they didn’t have indoor courts … so we had to play just in the time of the year the courts were available. They were shale courts. At one time, before they put the pool in, there were eight courts. Then they decided the Club needed a pool and they cut it down to four (courts) outside. The balls would fly over (the fence) and so you’d have to run all the way down to the bottom (of the street) to get the balls from the far court if you did a lob that went over. It was OK, though. A little exercise! I must have been in my early 30s. I’m 83 now. It was back then!

Q. What’s your earliest Club memory? When we were transferred from Edmonton with Pan American Petroleum to Calgary, The Glencoe Club could only handle so many members. So, my husband wrote to Dave Follansbee and the fellow who was the President and they said “Oh, yes, you can join,” (because I was the top player in Edmonton and maybe Alberta at that time).

Q. And your favourite memories? Playing tennis and bowling. It was so much fun. All the women knew each other so well. Everybody was so friendly because of my connection with the Glenora (Edmonton club).

Q. OK, what about your worst memories? I can’t remember any! My experiences at the Club have just been excellent. It’s been well run and the members were always friendly and I can’t remember a time when I’ve been upset. My husband, Darol Wigham, was President at one time and he did a good job!

Q. What are your recollections about the 1962 fire? Well, we were living in Edmonton at the time. I was just devastated because we knew how great (the Club) was. A lot of people think it was deliberately set — just over on the side there between the houses — but that’s hard to say! At that time fire regulations weren’t terribly good and something might have been left going. I don’t know.

Q. Is there a person from the Club who really stands out for you? Helen Roach. She was a fair bit older. She was a tennis player here and Neil, her husband, was quite a good player, but Helen was provincial champion in singles and doubles. I was doing well, but you learn a lot from someone who’s better. You learn shots that you should use.

Q. What does being a member of the Glencoe Club mean to you? Darol and I used to talk about it and he used to say: “This is our life!” People used to say: “You should have your beds down there (at the Glencoe). You should move the whole family and live down there,” because the four of us were so active! Ron and Patricia (Evelyn’s children) were fabulous swimmers and Patricia was a wonderful badminton player. She would win the girls’ title a lot and Ron would do quite well. I enjoyed every minute that I was here. A
