Club History

The Phoenix was officially established on 1st January 1932 by the workers of local steelmaking firm, Steel Peech & Tozer although hearsay has it that golfers played golf on a few holes within the complex some time prior to this. The membership at this time comprised of just 22 founder members. It is recorded that four gentlemen went to management of Steel Peech & Tozer and asked if they could be given permission to develop an area of scrubland and former arable land into a golf course. With no funds available the management allowed this subject to agreement that all work was done in the gentlemen’s own time and at their own expense. They and their fellow members developed the golf course in a piecemeal style firstly to a nine hole course initially designed by Mr Tom Williamson and then in 1935 to fourteen holes. Much of the development work being done with simple handtools. The rest as they say is history.

The present day members of Phoenix Golf Club owe these four gentlemen and their fellow members an enormous debt of gratitude.

The club house in those times was a simple wooden construction which is a far cry from the substantial buildings that now constitute the Brinsworth Pavilion with its various function rooms and conference facilities.

This is an old photograph of Brinsworth Pavilion from the early 1950's, shortly after being extended and renovated.
