Welcome

tunbridge Wells golf club is located in beautiful countryside in the heart of Kent, the county popularly known as the garden of england.

the course is one of the oldest in the area, dating back to 1889, and has not changed greatly from the one first enjoyed during the reign of Queen Victoria. certainly, it retains the same stunning views that have ensured its appeal has endured for well over a century.

Both novice and established golfers can enjoy a game on the nine-hole course which, while forgiving, has enough challenges to stimulate players of all abilities. the holes can be played from different tees to turn a round into the more traditional 18 holes.

the club has membership opportunities available to suit all, with preferential rates on offer to junior golfers.

the clubhouse has excellent facilities and with a magnificent location allied to the expertise of our skilled outside catering team, we have become a popular venue for functions and special occasions.

come and see us, the welcome will be warm and genuine and, who knows, a casual visit may turn into a lifelong association.

History

tunbridge Wells golf club was founded in 1889 by W Bruce dick, in the grounds of the spa Hotel of which he was the proprietor.

unfortunately, no written records remain from the time and minutes have been lost, so what follows is garnered from information we have managed to piece together after exhaustive research. if anyone can provide any factual details to fill in the gaps, we would be delighted to hear from you!

When mr dick, “a fine upstanding scotsman”, as one former member once described him, first came to the spa Hotel he constructed three or four holes in the grounds for his own amusement and that of special guests.

that was the origin of the present club tunbridge Wells golf club, which was first registered at the royal and ancient golf club of st andrew’s (the home of golf ) in 1896 and which by then had been extended to a nine-hole course.

membership at that time totalled 210, with the subscriptions being two guineas (£2.10) for men and one guinea for ladies.

History Continued...

nowadays we are delighted to welcome members from all walks of life, but this was certainly not the case in those early days. as eric carter pointed out in his book the first 100 years, written for our centenary in 1989, “it was a closely-knit coterie, a club of cronies with a few carefully chosen members.

it was not open to all and sundry – local tradesmen, in particular, were not expected to cross the clubhouse threshold unless, of course, they were delivering goods.”

every golf club has its characters and the Humphrey family have left an indelible impression on the history of our club. sam Humphrey, a larger-than-life figure, served as our professional for 30 years, before being succeeded by his son John at the end of the second World War.

sam’s daughter nora once recalled an incredible family feat that saw both sam and John record holes in one at the second hole within two days of each other. not to be outdone, nora completed the treble in the same week by making a hole in one at the sixth.

one end of our course was very close to the neighbouring club of culverden and negotiations took place in 1950 to buy that club when it was put up for sale. alas, the plan never came to fruition and culverden was soon built on, and an opportunity of turning the two clubs into an 18-hole golfer’s paradise was gone forever.

then owner alistair mcnab offered to lease the club to its members in december 1969 and an ambitious programme of refurbishment was undertaken. seven years later mr mcnab agreed to sell the club and with the help of grants all loans and the mortgage had been paid off inside ten years. members of tunbridge Wells golf club were now truly masters of their own destiny!

the hurricane of october 1987 had a devastating effect across the country and tunbridge Wells felt the full force too. many trees were brought down around the course but members – both men and ladies – stoically set to work removing them over the next three weeks so play could begin again.

it was typical of our membership and their outlook on life: nothing should get in the way of a good round of golf.

The Course

tunbridge Wells golf course takes full advantage of some glorious Kent countryside to offer a fair challenge to golfers of all abilities. it is expertly maintained to a very high standard and while looking a picture, it plays exceedingly well too and boasts some of the finest greens in the county.

the nine-hole course measures 2,368 yards from the yellow tees on the front nine and 2,383 yards on the back nine holes played from the blue tees. all the holes offer a good variation of golfing skills and some present quite a challenge.

there are four par-3s and five par-4s and while the longest hole measures a comparatively modest 414 yards, a premium is put on a sound short game and the ability to drive the ball accurately from the tee, with trees in play on several holes just waiting to catch out the errant shot.

We have a well-maintained practice putting green on which you can also perfect your chip and runs and a short game area where you can work on your pitching and bunker play.

for a hole-by-hole guide and to examine the scorecard, check out our website www.tunbridgewellsgolf.com though you will not appreciate the sheer beauty of the course until you come and play here.

The Professional & The Pro Shop

the pga professional at tunbridge Wells golf club is sharon Hinton, who has been with us since 2007. sharon’s initial link with the club was in coaching the lady members, but she proved so popular that we refused to let her go!

sharon’s claim to golfing fame as a player was becoming the sussex girls champion on her 16th birthday, beating an elite field at cooden Beach golf club.

nowadays, she focuses her time offering expert tuition to members and running the well-stocked pro shop. Here you will find some great deals available on golf balls, with the aim being to equal or better prices on the internet. all the major titleist range of balls are stocked, as are srixon and callaway.

the pro shop also has the latest motocaddy trolleys and a wide range of ladies and men’s clothing. Here the focus is not so much on the recognised golf brands, but on fashionable garments that look good on the course and alice collins – who has launched a new golf collection – is a particular favourite.

JrB golf are featured as well and there is some lovely knitwear made by glenbrae, who have created some stylish clothing for the club bearing the tunbridge Wells golf club logo.

sharon is a firm believer in golfers having a set of clubs that complement their swing and rather than selling standard equipment that may or may not suit, she encourages members to go to the custom fitting facilities of mizuno, callaway, yonex and taylormade so they are assured their clubs work for them. our professional is happy to accompany you on your visit if you prefer. 13

Tuition

a popular and profitable stopping-off point for golfers looking to improve their game is our teaching professional, sharon Hinton.

sharon’s aim is to keep instruction as simple as possible, that way the student is able to retain the information without their mind being burdened by complicated swing thoughts. she generally offers 40-minute lessons on any particular discipline of the game that is proving problematical.

she has a purpose-built coaching bay constructed by the members and likes to concentrate on kinesthetics – that is making sure the pupil feels the correct positions in the golf swing.

sharon also extols the virtues of mirror-image teaching – so the student can see what they are doing and what they are supposed to be doing. this works particularly well with beginners.

for the more experienced golfer, hour-long on-course lessons are available and these can be extended to 90 minutes or two hours if required. group classes are also available by arrangement and can complement perfectly a society or corporate golfing day either before or after your round.

for more details, call the pro shop on 01892 541386, or 07790 702230 or e-mail [email protected]

Playing Sections & Competitions Continued...on Wednesday at midday a group of men meet to play 18 holes. Known as the Waccats (Wednesday afternoon cream cake and tea society), they play for raffle tickets which are entered into a bumper christmas draw.

thursday morning is the Veterans’ match day. this over-55 grouping encourages new members to play in their matches and competitions which are normally followed by lunch. the veterans frequently take part in roll-ups on mondays as well. theirs is a well-organised, popular section to belong to, with its own society, agm, and annual dinner.

our junior section is very healthy and it is not uncommon at times to see in excess of 50 of our younger players enjoying what the game of golf and tunbridge Wells as a club have to offer.

numbers, of course, depend on the time of the academic year and whether our youngsters are too busy studying hard for examinations to even contemplate taking to the course, though the temptation of a quick nine holes can be hard to resist!

Playing Sections & Competitions Continued...most weekends there are competitions and there are also various knockout events throughout the year including summer and winter singles and four ball knockouts.

for prospective members who enjoy the thrill of competitive golf, tunbridge Wells is a fine choice because there are numerous trophies contested annually. one of the most noteworthy is the seymour King trophy, a medal event played over 36 holes generally held over two days in early July.

the top dog trophy is played for by the men and, as its name suggests, is a trophy contested by all the major winners and runners up in club prize and trophy competitions, to find the champion of champions. Bearing a statuette of an appealing little wire-haired fox terrier, it is a splendid piece of silverware dating back almost a century and hard to believe that many years ago it was used as a doorstop in the pro’s shop until being rediscovered and restored to its former glory.

matches against other golf clubs, be they in the sussex league, or prestigious encounters against other well-known adversaries like the nearby nevill golf club are regular fixtures throughout the year and these are followed by a meal. it may be nice to finish on the winning side, but equally enjoyable is the warmth and friendship that has developed between our club and our neighbours over the years.

We also run a Winter league for those that enjoy the course and their golf the whole year round.

In-House Societies

The Past Captains Societythe past captains society was formed in 1961 and is still flourishing today. several meetings are held each year on different golf courses in the area. a silver salver is played for annually. this year, the past captains society celebrates its 50th anniversary.

The Thrushesthis society has been running for more than 30 years and gets its name from a former member who was nicknamed “frush”. members are expected to be available for the annual holiday in september each year.

The Beaglesthis society was formed in 1973 and has maintained a steady membership, although only two of the original founder-members are still active participants. six meetings a year are held at various golf clubs where 36 holes are usually played. the highlight is a long weekend away where the tom morris shield is played for.

The Eaglesa group of members formed the eagles in 1982 with the intention of having a week’s golfing holiday and they have visited many resorts over the intervening years. there are trophies for each morning’s competition and these are presented the same evening. a golf day is held in may, when the new captain takes over and is presented with the eagles captain’s tie.

25

The Twigstunbridge Wells integrated golf society was formed in 1983 and has an equal number of ladies and men. it is still going strong and a number of meetings are held each year.

The Kingfishersthis society was formed in 1987 by dave King and mike fishlock from which the name was derived and whose aim was to give an opportunity for business people to play who were unable to justify a week away. a minimum of three meetings were held each year playing 18 holes at different courses.

The Gadsthis golfing association was formed in august 2001 by a trio of tunbridge Wells members – lionel, mike and paul – whose aim was to get a group of friends together to play golf on a league basis. the season runs from september to november, then february to august. this society is mixed and members of other golf clubs are included.

Benefits Of Membership

there are many reasons why tunbridge Wells should be seen as the club of choice for the discerning golfer.

first and foremost, we have a simply delightful parkland course that looks a picture all-year round and which should appeal to any standard of player.

though not overly-long it is still a test and encourages straight hitters and course management, so often neglected today in the efforts to boom a 300-yard drive off the tee.

for the beginner golfer wishing to learn the game, there could be few better places to start, with a forgiving course together with the support of our professional, sharon Hinton, who is an excellent teacher to golfers of all ages and abilities.

not everyone has the time to devote four hours to a round of golf, but our venue allows players to enjoy nine holes and then relax in the clubhouse or return to their busy lives.

there are regular competitions and the opportunity to get a congu handicap on completion of three cards with a member of the club.

members also enjoy a 15 per cent discount on drinks.

Social

you would expect a club with a history dating back as long as ours would have worked out how to have a good time by now, and you would be right.

there is a very active social side to tunbridge Wells golf club and special events take place throughout the year, with one of the highlights being the club dinner-dance held at the High rocks in tunbridge Wells.

it would be simply criminal not to make the most of the picturesque location where we find ourselves and our annual summer ball is held in a marquee we erect on the course. this popular event gives members the chance to dress up in their finery and always makes for a memorable night.

there is a christmas party and new year’s eve party in the clubhouse and sit-down dinners follow many golfing matches enabling members to catch up with old friends and golfing adversaries.

our creativity extends beyond being able to shape shots on the golf course – if you are looking to broaden your horizons, the clubhouse is the venue for guitar, singing and art classes among other things.

Clubhouse

Why not call in our friendly clubhouse for sustenance before or after your round of golf? We serve a wide selection of drinks and snacks and we have a large choice of sandwiches and bar meals available monday to saturday.

food is prepared and presented by our renowned caterers from the purple pumpkin, which is based close by in tunbridge Wells High street.

it is an unusual and perhaps unique arrangement, but one that works well, a fact underlined by the number of people who come back to see us again having discovered the club for the first time.

sean taylor, the head chef and owner of the purple pumpkin, has worked in london and abroad for many years and now brings his experience and innovative ideas in food tastes, style and presentation to patrons of our golf club.

purple pumpkin prepare and serve food for visiting societies, match meals, and private functions. call or e-mail the club for details, or take a look at the purple pumpkin’s website www.purplepumpkin.org.uk to whet your appetite.

like most golf clubs, we do have a dress code and all we ask is that players on the course are dressed in appropriate golfing attire. if you are unsure, check the website for a list of what is acceptable and what is considered to be a fashion faux pas.
