The Club was first established in 1904 when the founder members created a nine hole course on land belonging to the local park. In the early 1920's a completely new course was laid out on adjourning land, leased from the Duchy of Lancaster. A decade later, the course was extended from 9 to 18 holes based on a layout drawn by Dr Alastair McKenzie, the famous designer of Augusta, who was born locally.
As you would expect, our shop is well stocked. Ian Marshall our Professional, is able to supply excellent quality products at an attractive price. In addition, golf lessons are available and are structured to individual requirements. Beginners are welcome as are juniors (there is a group session for juniors every Saturday during the season), ladies and gentlemen.

This dog leg hole provides a real test of accuracy at the start of the round as out of bounds on the left gathers up the right hander's pull and the trees on the right just love to gather up a right hander's slice! A good tee shot to the centre of the fairway, however, opens up the green to a short to mid iron shot to the green which is protected either side by bunkers.
Last year's event was a complete sell out and demand is already high for the 2021 renewal. If you missed our Invitation Day this year, here is an opportunity for PDGC members to invite friends from other. Best regards, Jeremy Tomlinson - England Golf Chief Executive.
