Description
Cheltenham Golf Club - Instituted 1891. An 18 hole course on Cleeve Common, about three miles from the town.
Following the Great War, during which activities were curtailed, the membership failed to grow, primarily die to the
opening of Lilley Brook Golf Club in Cheltenham. In 1930 the club’s finances began to deteriorate until, in November
1935 it was resolved that the club should go into liquidation. The trophies were stored in Lloyds Bank. In 1952 a final
meeting of ex-members of the club agreed that the trophies should be divided between Cotswolds Hill GC and Lilley Brook GC.
