The Clubhouse
The Clubhouse dates back to 1905 and was built and furnished by the clubs first President Sir John Wood, at the height of the Arts & Crafts movement. An example of the craftsmanship of the time, using locally sourced timber from Culford in a cricket pavilion style, with an open fireplace inside and originally a south facing verandah, overlooking the 9th green.
Over time the Clubhouse has evolved to meet the requirements of the growing membership, but remains modest in both size and style allowing members and their guests an opportunity to step back in time and enjoy its traditional old fashioned charm. A warm welcome is always extended by the clubs in-house hospitality team.
As part of the clubs vision and development plan, it is worth noting that this incorporates a clubhouse refurbishment project, which is at the planning stage. The objective is to retain the traditional charm of the clubhouse elevations but modernise the internal structure and facilities for members enjoyment for generations to come.
The Arbon Cottage
The Arbon Cottage was built in 1906 again through the generosity of the club’s President and utilising the skills skills of his estates craftsmen using locally sourced timber and the salmon-red bricks made at the brickyard that existed on the neighbouring Culford Estate.
The Cottage was built to house the clubs first greenskeeper-cum-professional-cum steward, with the longest serving occupant and resident Professional being James Arbon who took up residence in 1919 on his return from the Great War and only retiring in 1958. A great servant to the club In more recent years the cottage has served as the home of the clubs stewards.
As part of the clubs Vision, Development & Renewal Plan the cottage and gardens were renovated in the spring of 2020 and serves as the clubs residential quarters for the newly recruited Club Manager & Head Chef.
