The golf club describes itself as "the Course in the heart of the city" as it is just a mile from Belfast city centre. It was formed in 1893 and is one of the oldest golf clubs in Ireland. The clubhouse and course are situated on mature tree-covered parkland, which was once part of the Marquis of Donegall's Ormeau demesne. The club has occupied the property by agreement with Belfast City Council since the early 1890s.

“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)
“The creation of “strong-minded” women, so-called, is due to the individualism of men, to the modern selfish and speculative spirit which absorbs everything within itself and leaves women nothing but self-assertion for their protection and support.”
