Thornton Golf Club
Thornton, Fife
Station Road, Thornton, Fife, KY1 4DW, Scotland
In the summer of 1921 Thornton Golf Club was formally founded by a group of local railwaymen. A committee was formed and the layout of the course was designed and agreed upon and on Saturday 6 August 1921 a mixed fourball competition was played to mark the opening of the club.
A railway hut was purchased and erected on the site to be used as a clubhouse at a total cost of less than ??100.
In 1925 land became available at the bottom of Station Road and it was then decided that the club would move to the new location. In May 1925 the opening ceremony was performed when a local hotelier struck the first ball. A new clubhouse was erected by a local joiner.
