Welcome

As Captain of Stratford-on-Avon 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. 

A little bit about me, I have been married to Janice for almost 35 years, we have two children Aimee and Tim as well as a lovely 1 year old grandson Robin.

I have only been a member for a reasonably short time, but in that time, I have come to love our club and I am so very proud to be a member and I am honoured to be this year’s Captain.

Our 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.

The course is managed by our Head Greenkeeper Chris Bromley and his team and 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 and our Professional is Julian Dodsworth who is ably assisted by his PGA qualified teaching assistant Neil Taylor.

You can always be assured of first-class fare from Fayreways caterers and there is always a friendly welcome from Shirley Hughes and her Bar team.

Captain 2024/2025
