The Kidderminster Golf Club

Welcome to The Kidderminster Golf Club

Kidderminster Golf Club, formerly known as the Comberton Golf Club, was formed in 1909. The move to form the Comberton Club was a bold one, as there already was an established club in Kidderminster on Aggborough Links. The original intention was to lay out a nine hole course at Dunclent Farm, two miles from the town, where arrangements had been made with the tenant farmer. However, difficulties arose with the Landlord and this scheme had to be abandoned. The Committee then found a more suitable site at Gorst Hall where they were able to obtain a lease for a nine hole course. Formal permission was given on the 13th October 1909 and the course opened by Eric Knight MP on the 23rd October 1909 - a remarkable achievement.

 

 

The course was planned by G.V.Tuck, the Midland Professional and Archie Compston was engaged as the Club Professional.

The first AGM was held on 8th October 1910 when the balance sheet showed  receipts of £156.11s. 3d and expenditure £152.12s.0d which included £30 on account for the erection of a pavilion.

1913 saw another four holes brought into play and further land was seeded ready to make the full eighteen holes.

Up until 1913 there was no play allowed on a Sunday because of an agreement with the Landlord.

During the Second World War part of the course was earmarked for agricultural use but for some reason this was never done.

In 1919 Aggborough Golf Club was required for building operations and  closed, which helped to increase the growth of the Comberton Club. A new pavilion was built on the site of the present clubhouse and membership increased rapidly to 224. At the AGM on 30th April 1921 the name was changed to Kidderminster Golf Club.
