Description
Brough Golf Club – East Yorkshire - In the autumn of 1891 a meeting was held at the Ferry Inn, Brough,
attended by Mr West and Dr Mossman, Mr Gregory and FM and Maxwell Jackson and three or four other gentlemen.
After a vote, an annual subscription of 5/- was agreed, not the 2/6d that had been proposed. It was then decided
to lay out a 9 hole course and to purchase an old wooden "Monkey House" for use as a Clubhouse, sited on the
present 2nd green. Brough Golf Club was officially recognised by the R & A in 1893. Further land was acquired
in 1905, when an 18 hole course was created. The present imposing Clubhouse was purchased, together with three
acres of grounds, in 1925 for £3,750. Following additional acquisitions of land, the course was extended and
improved in 1933 and 1955.
