Description
Royal Ascot Golf Club - The club was founded by local barrister F.J. Patton in 1887, and given Royal
status by Queen Victoria later that year. Many of her children learned to play golf at Royal Ascot and The Prince
of Wales, later King Edward VII, was patron of the club in 1901.
At first, Royal Ascot GC and Ascot Ladies’ GC each had a nine-hole course on Ascot Heath in the middle of the
racecourse. In 1895 the two clubs amalgamated and a new 18-hole course was designed by J.H. Taylor
