There is some confusion as to when Portadown Golf Club was first founded. The "Belfast Newsletter", 2^nd March, 1895 records "The members of this club held their annual meeting in the Young Men’s Institution. There was a large attendance, thus testifying to the healthy interest, which is taken in the club by the young men of the town. The chair was occupied by Mr. John Lutton, Captain" It gives the President as Charles Johnston J. P, the Hon. Secretary as Mr. Waugh and the Treasurer, as Mr. T. Alexander.

The original course was at Drumcree, when it moved to Mahon in 1919 and to its present location at Carrickbracke in 1934, where an eighteen-hole course was officially opened in 1936. During the Second World War, nine holes were given over to grow flax and potatoes and it wasn’t until 1974 that it reverted to eighteen holes again. Portadown celebrated its centenary year in the Millennium.
