  • History of Royal Cromer Golf Club Established 1888
    History of Royal Cromer Golf Club established 1888 Information obtained from minute books, letters, members records, journals and periodicals. Royal Cromer Golf Club History Established 1888 Royal Cromer Golf Club owes its existence to the enthusiasm and love of the game of a Mr. Henry Broadhurst M.P., a Scot who lived at 19, Buckingham Street, The Strand, London. In the 1880's, whilst holidaying in Cromer, he recognised the potential of land to the seaward of the Lighthouse as a possible site for a Links Course. The popularity of North Norfolk at this time had been noted in the London City Press in a report dated 5th September 1886: "The public are greatly indebted to railway enterprise for the opening up of the East Coast. More bracing air and delightful sands are not to be found in any part of England. The only drawback is that the country is rather flat. This remark, however, does not apply to Cromer, which bids fair to become the most popular watering place, it being entirely free from objectionable features". The site of the proposed golf course was owned by the then Lord Suffield KCB, who kindly consented to the request of Broadhurst and some twenty other enthusiasts to rent the land. The Club was instituted in the Autumn of 1887 with Lord Suffield as President. Doubtless it was his friendship and influence with the Prince of Wales which precipitated the Prince's gracious patronage of the infant club on 25th December 1887. Thus Cromer had a Royal Golf Club even before its official opening the following January.

  • Ron Arnst's HMG Course Collection Summaries
    HISTORY MAKER GOLF Championship Golf Game • Course Summaries Course Collection ONE Blackjack GC, Las Vegas NV / based on TPC SUMMERLIN TPC Summerlin’s layout, carved from a magnificent swath of rugged desert terrain by renowned golf course architect Bobby Weed, provides a good reference for the Blackjack GC. TPC Summerlin’s lush bentgrass greens, numerous water features and an abundance of pine trees all contrast dramatically with undisturbed desert washes. The course features four closing holes that deliver top flight golf drama. The final charge begins with the par 4, 15th hole – a drivable par 4 that will temp most players. If the tee shot misses the green, an “up and down” birdie is possible, but not easy, due to the severely elevated and undulated green – which is surrounded by five bunkers that regularly attract stray tee shots. The 16th hole is a relatively downhill par-5 that is reachable with two good shots. The green is guarded by water short of the green, and bunkers beyond. Only a mid-iron will be necessary for the second shot, with a birdie almost a certainty. A challenging and un-nerving par-3, the 17th hole plays downhill with the green guarded closely by a lake on the left and by bunkers on the right. Par is good score and birdies are rare, should players need to make up ground. The 18th is a well-designed and strategic finishing hole which moves right to left off the tee. The green is protected on the left by a lake. An aggressive tee shot with the driver can leave the player just a short iron to a very deep green from front to back.

As one traces it along the centuries he realises, what it is sometimes difficult to do in a general historical survey, what sort of men they were who carried on the succession of events, and obtains many a glimpse into their own character that reveals their individuality and their idiosyncracies, as well as the motives that actuated and that animated them.

    Royal Montrose Golf Club It is widely believed the game of golf evolved on the lands, between the sea and the more fertile hinterland, known as the Links. The East coast of Scotland was ideally suited to this development, and uniquely there are many towns and cities along the length of the east coast of Scotland who have links courses, upon which multiple golf clubs play, such as Aberdeen, Montrose, Arbroath, Carnoustie, Monifieth, St Andrews, and Leven etc. Within these towns and cities many golf clubs were formed as a result of the many trades being plied, such as the Mechanics, the Weavers Club, the Flex dressers Club, the Half Holiday Club, etc. Over the years, as a result of amalgamations, these clubs have been reduced to the three clubs which exist in Montrose today of; The Royal Montrose, the Mercantile and the Caledonia Golf Clubs. Golf was first recorded in Montrose in 1562 when six year old schoolboy James Melville recorded in his diary that “Our maister war teached to handle the bow for archerie, the glub for goff….A happy and golden tyme indeid”, making Montrose the 5th oldest golf course in the world In 1628 the famous Marquis of Montrose became the first golfer to engage a caddie, paying him four shillings, and in 1629 the Marquis spent his honeymoon in Montrose playing golf. Over the years many battles unfolded between the golfers, and the local Town Council over the links lands, as the council wished to use the land for housing and leasing to farmers, in order to gain more income.
