HISTORY
F
ulwell Golf Club was formally opened for play on Saturday 19 November 1904 with its first Captain, Mr Harry Tomlinson I.S.O & first President, Sir Frederick Dixon-Hartland MP (Uxbridge), Bart. Other early Presidents included Viscount Villiers, Rt. Hon. Lord Riddell, Sir Frederick Freake and Lord Saltoun. The course was designed by J.H. Taylor on similar lines to his own course at MidSurrey, an outer 18 hole course for men and an inner 18 hole course for ladies. Further course alterations were carried out in 1921 using designs from Harry Colt and Alister Mackenzie, two of the leading course designers of the era. During 1933/34, the Club had an opportunity to buy the land that covered the two courses and frontage on Wellington Road from the Freake Estate
www.fulwellgolfclub.co.uk
but the offer was not taken at the time. The course, previously farmland leased from the Freake Estate, was compulsory purchased by Middlesex County Council in 1936 to preserve the course as green belt land. During the Second World War, the second course was closed and used for agricultural purposes, as in the First World War, and did not open for play after the war ended. The new landlords, Middlesex County Council, and the Club, had meetings as early as April 1945 to discuss building and re-designing a new course. The course architect was J.S.F. Morrison of Colt, Alison and Morrison. Seven existing holes were used and eleven new holes created. The course that we now know was opened for play on 30 August 1958 and has hosted many professional and amateur events through its 112 years.

The History of the Professionals
W
P.E. Taylor of Littlehampton Golf Club was appointed, in February 1914. After seven years, Phil Taylor was appointed Professional to the Victoria Golf Club, British Columbia, Canada and sailed from England on February 18th 1921.
P.J. Gaudin, a Jersey man, arrived from Manchester Golf Club to replace Hepburn. He was born in Grouville Common, Jersey on the 4th March 1878 and was one of five professional golfing brothers. While at Fulwell, Gaudin represented England against Scotland in 1906, 1907, 1909, 1912 & 1913. January 1914, after eight years, saw the departure of P.J. Gaudin when he joined the newly formed Camberley Heath Golf Club.
W.G. Oke (Honor Oak Club) was appointed Professional to Fulwell in March 1921. In November 1930, George Oke was appointed Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Professional Golfers’ Association. In June 1932, George Oke played for the English team at Princes Club, Sandwich, Kent, which beat Scotland by 13 matches to three. In July 1937, George Oke played for England for the second time in their annual match against Scotland at Carnoustie. England won this match by nine matches to seven. Bill Cox (Wimbledon Park) was also included in the England side.
hen Fulwell Golf club was formed in November 1904, its first professional was R.G. Hepburn, whose brother J. Hepburn was the professional at neighbouring Home Park Golf Club. He moved from the Royston Golf Club, Herts and stayed at Fulwell until 1906.

ABOUT Welcome THE COURSE
F
ound in 1904, the parkland course makes the most of the 130 acres it is set on with every hole on the course varying in length and layout.
Measuring at 6,475, with a standard scratch of 71, visitors can expect a challenge from start to finish. Each hole provides its own challenge, with the tree lined fairways and subtle borrows on the wellmaintained greens adding to this demanding yet delightful test of golf.
www.fulwellgolfclub.co.uk
The course contains four par threes, three par fives and eleven par fours. Each have their own different challenges, while the signature hole is undoubtedly the par three, 162-yard 9th, which demands superb accuracy teeing off over the lake into a narrow green with bunkers guarding at the front and side of the greens. For more information on the course’s condition and availability please call 0208 977 3844.

course tour
I
f you have never played at Fulwell Golf Club before you are in for a treat. Make the most of your trip by learning about some of the delights and challenges to be encountered as you follow our hole-by-hole tour.
Hole 1 - Par 4 - 372 Yards - The course starts with a short dogleg right where a good position from the tee is vital. A second shot played from the left side of the fairway is ideal, however you must stay out of the fairway bunker. The longer hitters may attempt to drive the ditch situated 270 yards from the tee. The green is guarded by a bunker left and right. Hole 2 - Par 4 - 419 Yards - A good test of length and accuracy awaits on the second with a tee shot up the left hand side of the fairway required. Anywhere right and you will be blocked out for your second shot to the green by the trees. With a bunker left and trouble behind, favour the right hand side of the green with your approach.
16 / The Fulwell Golf Club
Hole 3 - Par 4 - 401 Yards - A small dogleg left with the fairway pushing you right makes the hole play longer than its yardage. If you take on the bunkers 240 yards out with a gentle right to left shot from the tee you will open up the green for your approach. A well protected green with a bunker left and the right requires a precise shot in order to score. Hole 4 - Par 4 - 289 Yards - Next comes the shortest par 4 on the course and what is considered as the first real birdie opportunity. Some will attempt to drive the green in one whilst others will hit a shorter shot from the tee to allow for a wedge into the green. The fairway bunkers will grab your shot if you’re not accurate and a testing green awaits. Hole 5 - Par 5 - 472 Yards - The first par 5 on the course and another scoring hole. A well placed tee shot will allow for an opportunity to
www.fulwellgolfclub.co.uk
attack the green in two and a birdie opportunity. Be careful of the ditch which is 70 yards short of the green. For those not attacking the green in two, a layup short of the ditch will leave a short iron shot into the long green which is protected by a bunker left and right. Hole 6 - Par 3 - 153 Yards - The first of four testing par threes on the course. Four bunkers protect the green that slopes from back to front with an accurate tee shot required through the trees. Hit the green and you will have a good chance to keep your score ticking, however it is not a certainty with subtle burrows when putting across the green. Hole 7 - Par 4 - 397 Yards - Two good shots are required here with the approach into a double tiered green requiring accuracy. Drive down the left hand side of the fairway to avoid the fairway bunker on the right, leaving yourself a mid-range shot into the green. It doesn’t
www.fulwellgolfclub.co.uk
look a tough hole from the tee but walk off with a par and you will be a happy golfer. Hole 8 - Par 4 - 452 Yards - This is a long par four and requires two good hits to the green. This is a low stroke index hole and some will play it as a par five and not risk a high number. A wide fairway allows you to open your shoulders but be careful of the bunkers waiting. The tee shot needs to be followed by a lengthy accurate second into a long narrow green. With a swale left and a bunker right, your short game skills will be tested. Hole 9 - Par 3 - 162 Yards - The signature hole of the course and a beautiful view from the tee. A tee shot over the lake and through the trees is required with the green widening towards the back of the green. Three bunkers guard the front and right side of the green with one hiding on the left, so accuracy is the key on this hole.
The Fulwell Golf Club / 17
course tour CONTINUE Hole 10 - Par 4 - 357 Yards - A short opening to the back nine but also another test of accuracy. A tee shot from right to left is required avoiding the copse of trees on the left. The approach shot always plays a little longer so always take one more club to avoid the bunker protecting the front of the green, a four is by no means a given on this hole. Hole 11 - Par 5 - 500 Yards - A par 5 which comes to life when you reach the green. A gentle tee shot with space right is followed by a layup avoiding the fairway bunker 100 yards from the green. This hole is all about the approach to a kidney shaped green. Miss the green left or right and you will struggle to make par. The green sloping from back to front and narrowing in the middle is one of the best and most testing you will play as a golfer.
18 / The Fulwell Golf Club
Hole 12 - Par 4 - 412 Yards - A brilliant par four which requires length, accuracy and course management. With the tee shot there is plenty of room, a drive from left to right ideal avoiding the fairway bunkers. The approach requires precision with any shot coming up short rolling back down the slope to the front of the green. If the pin is located in the back right position, play for the centre of the green unless you are willing to gamble. Hole 13 - Par 3 - 198 Yards - The longest of the par threes and one that has many shot options. With an open front to the green, running the ball in is arguably the safest option but for those wishing to pitch the green, watch out for the bunkers left and right protecting the pin when it is on either side of the green.
www.fulwellgolfclub.co.uk
Hole 14 - Par 4 - 418 Yards - One of the toughest holes on the course with all of your golfing ability required. Normally playing into wind, this hole can play even longer. A solid drive into the fairway is required followed by a long second shot into a wide green which is protected by a large bunker across the left side. Hole 15 - Par 4 - 340 Yards - With a ditch and out of bounds on the right, this is not a hole to open your shoulders. A tee shot played short of the fairway bunkers is the best option. The approach will be required to fly the whole way onto the raised green, beware of missing left however as the ditch will be awaiting any errant shots. Hole 16 - Par 3 - 165 Yards - The last of the par threes and proof you do not need bunkers to make a hole tough. A raised green which is narrow but long is testing with any shot coming short filtering away to
www.fulwellgolfclub.co.uk
the front left of the green. Miss the green right or left and you have a challenge on your hands to make par. Hole 17 - Par 5 - 569 Yards - The last par five and course management is required, you can open your shoulders from the tee and hit to the open fairway but make sure you miss the drive bunkers. Your second shot is key to success, get past the oak on the left and you’re in a great position to hit the green with your approach. Leave yourself in the wrong section of the green and it will be a tough two putt. Hole 18 - Par 4 - 399 Yards - You are nearly home but what a finish this hole provides. A tee shot between the bunkers is required, followed by a mid to long iron into the green. Anything short will fall into the ditch running across the front of the green which slopes from back to front. A four to finish will send you home a happy golfer. Once complete, enjoy the 19th hole.

PRACTICE FACILITIES Welcome
F
ulwell members are very fortunate to have some excellent practice facilities which include a 280-yard practice ground where you can hit iron or wood shots from grass as if you were playing on the course.
Outside the clubhouse entrance sits a large putting green where you can hone your putting skills before you play. If you wish to loosen up before you step on to the first tee, we have two Huxley practice nets conveniently placed behind the starters hut.
There is also an excellent short game area to practice chipping and pitching on to the green and if bunkers are your nemesis then you can also practice these at the short game area.
