History

Golf at Lansdown was initially conceived in July 1894 at a meeting chaired by Sir Henry Lawrence, great grandfather of our current President. A few months later it was decided to build a 9 hole links. If successful, the Lawrence family agreed to provide further land for additional holes.

In 1906 the course was extended to 18 holes with the 11th, 12th and 13th holes being in the valley of Pipley Bottom, while the greens were fenced with barbed wire to prevent damage from livestock. Brockham End, an area now heavily wooded but then treeless and exposed, was the location of a woodman’s cottage; the original clubhouse. However, at that time there was no driveway, thus access required a long walk. 1907 saw the woodman’s replaced with country cottages; one of the two cottages near the 1st tee was provided as a clubhouse. Subscriptions at this time were £1.05 p (1 guinea).

In 1909 the cottage clubhouse was reluctantly given up and a clubhouse was built in a more accessible position on the site of the present clubhouse. This rebuild necessitated an alteration to the links. A considerable amount of the land was leased from the Blathwayt Estate, which gave the opportunity for the course to be lengthened. In 1924 Lansdown Golf Club was able to buy the land upon which the clubhouse still stands along with the gardens and drive for £105. Since those early days, Lansdown Golf Club has gone from strength to strength and is now established as one of the best members’ clubs in the area. Although our roots go back a long way, Lansdown today is a modern, forward-thinking club where all members enjoy the same rights and freedom to contribute to our continuing success into the future. The club has been affiliated to the Gloucestershire Golf Union since 1961 and, over the years, has been proud to host some of the most prestigious regional and national events.
