Stratford-on-Avon Golf Club
As Captain of Stratford Golf Club. I warmly welcome both visitors and societies to enjoy our very special course: one of the oldest and most revered clubs in Warwickshire; and to enjoy our enviable club hospitality. I have been a member since I was 19 years old. I am married to Jane and we have two daughters.
Stratford on Avon-on-Avon Golf Club was founded in 1894 and moved to its present location, off Tiddington Road, in 1925. Only a few years later our Captain was the inspirational 'Samuel Ryder', inaugurator of the famous Ryder Cup matches. Held every two years between the top professional golfers of America and of the UK and Europe, this has now become one of the most iconic team prizes in sport.
We have a challenging yet very picturesque par 72 course, respected and admired by both low and high handicap golfers alike. The fairways are lined by a variety of mature ornamental trees and our sandy, easy draining subsoil enables play virtually all year round.
Our Club Manager, Simon Dennis, and his team are available to assist with all / any enquiries. The Professional, Julian Dodsworth is ably assisted by his two PGA qualified teaching assistant Neil Taylor. The course is managed by Head Greenkeeper Chris Bromley and his team. You can be assured of first class fare from Fayreways caterers and there is always a friendly welcome from our Bar Manager Shirley Hughes and her team.
