Golf clubs

Minchinhampton Golf Club was founded in 1889 and now comprises three golf courses, each of quite different character.
The clubhouse at the ̱New Coursę was extended during the nineties and was originally an old barn.
The Old Course on Minchinhampton Common was the original "links" set out in 1889 needing a "high" degree of skill, strength, judgement and patience; the people of Gloucestershire are fortunate in having a lovely and extensive common for their golf". Words that have been taken from an article in "The Illustrated London News" dated August 23rd 1890, but remain as relevant today. Set on a hillocky high plateau, donated to the populace by merchants who had made a fortune out of wool, with wonderful views across the "Stroud valleys", there are some marvellous holes that are a real test of golf.The clubhouse at the ̱New Coursę was extended during the nineties and was originally an old barn.
