Instituted 1900, affiliated 1910. The early records of the club are missing and the earliest available are for 1913.

"The course of nine holes varying from 95 to 414 yd's is a mile from the station."

"Play begins in October, and ends on May 1st." The GUI records give 24th February 1910 as the date of affiliation.
