Subject
On the 24th May 1913 a meeting took place at the Grove Hotel Wallasey, where members of three local golfing societies, Grove, Warren and West Wirral. They agreed to combine their resources and lease a piece of land between Leasowe Road and the River Fender to form a new 9 hole course.
Ten years later the club leased a further piece of land between the railway and the River Fender and in 1924 the course was extended to 15 holes and then to 18 holes in 1925.
The construction of the M53 Motorway in the late 1960s deprived the club of 20 acres of land and the course layout had to be changed. The future of the club was secured in 1992 when the members were able to purchase the lease of the land.
