Chester is one of the oldest established golf clubs in the county of Cheshire. The club has a full calendar of competitions and inter-club matches, as well as opportunities for friendly golf. The clubhouse offers all the usual amenities e.g. licensed bar. Visitors are welcome.
Situated in Curzon Park, Chester Golf Club was founded on 24 May 1901. Formerly known as “Brueres Halgh” during the early Middle Ages, the land was used for agricultural purposes for many years. During the English Civil War a Parliamentary gun emplacement besieging Chester was used to bombard the northern defences of the city from a location close to where the maintenance sheds now stand.
Set on two levels, the 18 hole meadowland course is contained within a loop of the River Dee. There are attractive views of the Welsh hills to the west, and of the Roodee and the ancient city of Chester across the river to the east.
Famous quotes containing the words golf and/or club:
“Years ago we discovered the exact point, the dead center of middle age. It occurs when you are too young to take up golf and too old to rush up to the net.”
—Franklin Pierce Adams (1881–1960)
“He loved to sit silent in a corner of his club and listen to the loud chattering of politicians, and to think how they all were in his power—how he could smite the loudest of them, were it worth his while to raise his pen for such a purpose.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
