Cowes Golf Club opened 1909 and for more

than a century has been a source of pleasure

and pride to countless golfers. Set in the

magnificent natural terrain, Cowes provides a

delightful yet challenging golfing environment for

both members and visitors alike.

If you are looking for the perfect location to play

a round of golf, have a great society golf day, or

simply become a member of a popular golf club

– then look no further than Cowes.

The 9-hole layout measures 2,964 yards with a

par of 35. The rolling parkland has an excellent

reputation both for its condition and layout,

while there is something to interest golfers at

all levels, with each hole offering its own unique

challenge.

Although nine hole, the course with alternate

tees presents a challenging 18 hole test which

many golfers have underestimated at their

peril. Even though it is on the edge of Cowes

and surrounded by houses and a High School,

the course is an oasis of peace and quiet,

occasionally interrupted by the antics of red

squirrels and a variety of other wild life, from

pheasants to foxes and the occasional hawk.

If you are visiting the Isle of Wight, this is the

course that you must play or forever regret.

Often busy with members playing, a call to the

Secretary is recommended and if there is a

tee time available, you can be sure of a warm

welcome at Cowes Golf Club.

HISTORY

Founded in 1909, Cowes Golf Club was

designed by famous golf course architect,

Hamilton Stutt, and was formally part of the

Ward Estate.

On Thursday 22nd July 1909 Cowes GC

was opened on the picturesque grounds of

Northwood-park.

The first clubhouse was constructed on July

31st, costing only £500 to build and furnish,

with money to spare to improve the course and

upgrade the course maintenance equipment.

In June 1911 the Cowes professional, Percy J

Lockyer, played in a challenge match against

Osborne professional, Stanley S Jacobs, with

Lockyer winning the match and, in the process,

setting a course record of 71.

The clubhouse was extended in 1923 before a

period of course developments began. While

some were to make general improvements to

the course, others were merely to preserve it.

Building developments to Baring Road in

the 1930s meant a number of greens were

relocated, while bombs were dropped on the

course during World War II, which prompted

redevelopments to the 1st and 9th greens

among others.

Following the war, golf clubs across the Isle of

Wight struggled to regain their members and the

lack of players in the late 1940s and early ‘50s

caused Cowes and several other clubs to run

into severe financial problems.

After recovering from the post-war problems,

the original clubhouse suffered a fire that

seriously damaged most of the building in 1963,

prompting the building of a new clubhouse in

October the same year.

www.cowesgolfclub.co.uk | 7

Several different course arrangements were

tried between 1968-1972 but all were deemed

to have unacceptable flaws. It was back to the

drawing board and at a General Meeting it was

decided that the design of the course should

not be made by well-meaning members but by

an outside professional.

The upshot was that J Hamilton Stutt was

approached to design the course; a job he

willingly accepted.

While the course had undergone a number of

changes throughout the 1960s and 70s, even

more modifications were due when disaster

struck again, as another fire caused the

clubhouse to burn down. In 1983, thanks to the

help of members, staff and financial assistance

from outside bodies, our third clubhouse was

opened two and a half years after the fire.

Despite the recurring tragedy, one positive to

rise out of the fires was the club logo. The image

depicts a double-headed Phoenix emerging out

of fire, symbolically representing the club’s rise

from our clubhouse fires.

The club celebrated its centenary in 2009 and

after experiencing our fair share of misfortune

throughout the past 100 years, we are now well

versed in dealing with adversity.

Unlike some clubs, Cowes Golf Club has

not only survived but also celebrated its

centenary in a robust condition. It has a healthy

membership of both sexes, a beautiful golf

course, well maintained by our Green Keeper as

well as an impressive modern clubhouse with

picturesque views across the Isle of Wight.

ABOUT THE COURSE

Our nine-hole course, with a good selection

of holes, is a 2,964-yard, par 35 course that

provides a real challenge to golfers of all

abilities.

It was designed by Hamilton Stutt, a local golf

course architect, famous for designing exciting

courses across the world that make the most of

the natural terrain. Re-designed in the 1970’s,

the course has matured amazingly well. The

course benefits from indigenous woodland

across its entirety.

The view from the course at Cowes can be

breathtaking with stunning vistas on a late

summers evening, looking across the Solent,

making you feel as though you could be

anywhere in the world.

The layout of the holes uses the natural

topography and the course blends well into

the surroundings rather than imposing upon

it. Over 10 years have passed since a tree

planting programme was implemented. These

plantations are maturing fantastically and are

readily producing a superb test of strategic

parkland playability.

www.cowesgolfclub.co.uk | 9

The course’s signature hole is the par four, 340-

yard hole 9. This hole requires a drive coming

up short and right on this left to right dogleg,

leaving you with a daunting second shot over

some dominating trees. Play it down the left of

the fairway from the tee and the largest green

on the course will open up to you.

Emphasis on the course quality is top of the list,

with consistent, smooth surfaces paramount.

This is achieved by carefully planned nutritional

and aerification programmes which are

implemented throughout the calendar year.

Emphasis is also placed upon the environment

and its’ enhancement. Woodland, habitat

management and the use of as little chemical

products as possible all contribute to the

wellbeing of the local wildlife. You’ll enjoy playing

this course, but the challenges facing you will

vary dependant upon your own standard of golf,

so treat it with respect on your first few visits to

ensure that you negotiate its potential pitfalls.

If you have never played at Cowes Golf Club

before you are in for a treat. Make the most of

your trip by learning about some of the pitfalls

that lie in wait and how to avoid them as you

follow our hole-by-hole tour.

Hole 1, 551 yards, par 5

An excellent hole for starters. Bunkers and trees

to the left, out of bounds down the right and a

small green for a par five means that you need

to play it straight and keep it safe to avoid any

misfortune on this hole.

Hole 2, 355 yards, par 4

A good tee shot hugging the tree line along the

left side of the fairway should ensure less of a

natural roll off to the right on the sloping fairway.

This will leave you with a shorter second shot

into a long narrow green. Hit it right or left at this

point and you’ll find trouble.

Hole 3, 172 yards, par 3

A favourite hole for many golfers. This

picturesque par three requires accuracy from

the tee to avoid a newly re-modelled pot bunker

on the right. There’s no harm in over clubbing

here.

Hole 4, 414 yards, par 4

Another hole where the importance of the tee

shot is paramount. Keep it left of centre from the

tee. This will ensure a shorter second to a flat

green on this tricky, right to left dogleg par four.

Hole 5, 317 yards, par 4

A medium to long iron from the tee is all that is

required on this short par four. This will leave a

full shot into the green. Be careful not to under

hit your second shot as you could get caught

out by the water hazard. Tug it left and the

dominant oak could also have a part to play.

Hole 6, 346 yards, par 4

A tight driving hole preferably played with a

draw. This time it’s flat terrain all the way to

50 yards from the green where some gentle

undulations start. The two tier green must be

judged with caution as many a shot has been

dropped here.

Hole 7, 309 yards, par 4

A long, straight drive will be rewarded by a

short pitch to a green which is well guarded by

bunkers. Beware of the fairway bunkers down

the right and left.

Hole 8, 160 yards, par 3

On this par three, as opposed to hole three, you

would be better off coming up short rather than

being long. A large bunker guards the whole left

side of the green and two smaller ones protect

the right. With out of bounds across the back,

it’s a tough and demanding tee shot.

Hole 9, 340 yards, par 4

A drive coming up short and right on this left

to right dogleg will leave you with a daunting

second shot over some dominating trees. Play it

down the left of the fairway from the tee and the

largest green on the course will open up to you.

MEMBERS’ GOLF

Members at Cowes Golf Club enjoy a full

programme of golf throughout the year. There

are fixtures against other clubs, together with

much competition to be enjoyed alongside

fellow members, some for silverware and some

of a more social nature.

There is always something to suit your handicap,

age and golfing desire at Cowes Golf Club

and you will certainly not be short of playing

opportunities.

Men

The men’s section at Cowes Golf Club is strong

on competitive golf both within the club and with

other golf clubs and leagues.

The men field a team in the Isle of Wight

Foursomes League. This is a scratch Foursomes

competition that sees matches played over 18

holes, with each match consisting of three games.

This is a competition we have faired well in over

the past two decades, winning five consecutive

titles from 1992-96 and again from 1999-2003.

The men field a team in an Isle of Wight

competition called the Haworth Cup, however,

their main focus is in the Isle of Wight Inter-Club

League in which they finished runners up last

year.

The men’s side also play a number of friendlies

throughout the season against other local

clubs, while there is also a keen focus on social

golf where the only thing on offer is renewing

friendships and perhaps a drink in the bar

afterwards for the winner.

VISITORS

At Cowes Golf Club we extend a warm welcome

to visitors, with both our green fees and society

packages representing fantastic value for

money.

Visitors are welcome to play the course at any

time throughout the week and are invited to use

the Club’s other outstanding facilities during

their visit. You do not have to be a golfer to be

able to spend an enjoyable time with us.

You will find the course provides an interesting

challenge for golfers of all abilities, with stunning

views across the countryside adding to the

elegance of the course.

The well-stocked Accessories Stand will allow

you to stock up on consumables and to browse

the wide range of golf equipment, while a full

range of catering facilities is also available in the

Clubhouse where you can relax with companions

and enjoy the view overlooking the downs.

Although handicap certificates are not

mandatory, we do prefer golfers to be of a

sufficient standard for them to be able to enjoy

their round and for them not to inconvenience

other players when out on the course.

Please take a moment to visit our website and

read our rules on dress regulations to ensure

your visit runs as smoothly as possible. A

minimum standard of smart casual dress is

required in all areas of the Clubhouse at all times.

SOCIETIES

Societies and corporate groups are always

welcome at Cowes Golf Club and can expect an

enjoyable day out. We are a popular venue all year

round and see groups returning year after year.

We can cater for small or large groups and offer

a wide range of golf packages from 18, 28 or 36

holes of golf.

Choose from an individually priced menu

containing a number of choices depending on

the time of day you wish to play.

We have a range of catering options available

starting with coffee and a bacon roll on arrival

before a round of 18.

We would recommend, however, choosing the all-

day package, which includes coffee and a bacon

roll on arrival, followed by a round of golf, before a

three-course lunch with coffee to follow.

Longest drive and nearest the pin markers can be

provided and our well-stocked Accessories Stand

has everything you need for prizes, while our

office, Clubhouse and staff are on hand to assist

you to ensure that your outing runs smoothly and

that everyone has a memorable day.

and we guarantee you and your group a day to

remember.
