The Club's Founder, Charles Stuart Goodfellow, had decided to take up the sport in 1902 after seeing people playing golf on the sand when holidaying at Minehead. A nine-hole course was designed and laid out on the Pencapel farm Lands on Caerphilly Mountain in 1905, and the area occupied by the course remained substantially the same until 1963 when work began to increase the number of holes to 18.
The club's eminent history include an incident during World War 1 when a member landed his airplane on No. 1 fairway - perhaps one day that will be the conventional way to arrive? The Clubhouse is a mix of Modern and Old boasting 2 bars and and a large comfortable lounge. The adjoining function room is used for many official and social club functions, is also available for private hire and is ideally suited for holding weddings and other special occasions. |
