History

The Wimbledon Town Golf Club was founded at a meeting held at the Wimbledon Hill Hotel on February 20th 1908. Membership was limited to 100 residents of Wimbledon and the entrance fee and annual subscription set at one guinea each. Playing was permitted by the Conservators only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Each player had to employ a caddy, a practice which continued into the 1920s. During the First World War much of the Common was taken over by the War Office. In 1919 the South London Golf Club amalgamated with WCGC. Our name became “Wimbledon Common and South London Golf Club” and was simplified to Wimbledon Common Golf Club in 1928.

World War II was a huge setback for the club. Many members left for military service and the Common was taken over by the military making the course largely unplayable. At the end of the war the pre-war green keeper was re-hired and repairs of wartime damage were made. After the austerity of the late 1940s, the Club gradually recovered. In 2008 the Club celebrated its centenary with a year-long calendar of activities and celebrations.

History continued

Lady members were first admitted in 2005, and new ladies’ changing rooms were added in 2012. A year later, a Ladies’ Academy programme began, and has since admitted men. Solheim Captain Carin Koch kicked off National Golf Month at the club in May 2015, recognising how WCGC has grown through ladies’ involvement. In 2016 a Ladies’ team entered for the first time, and won, the Surrey Ladies County Golf Association Druce Trophy (pictured right with Robert Holmes and Lady Captain Joanna Croker). The clock tower was added to the clubhouse in 2018 at the bequest of founding lady member and three-year Lady Captain Karen Owen, to help golfers keep to their tee times. The pro shop moved to the clubhouse interior in 2019 and was opened in honour of Edward Harris, recognising the life of our remarkable three-time chairman. Club technology was updated and bar area upgraded over 2019-2020 under the club’s first female General Manager, Emma Pope.
