Oswestry Golf Club

With good tees, beautiful fairways and quality green, Oswestry, with its excellent drainage, is ideal for all year round play. The Club has recently been granted the English Golf Union Environmental Award for its work in improving the ecology of the course. Over 100 years of History - In September 1903, Oswestry played its first match on Llanymynech Hill, which was its home until 1931. When the Club needed to relocate, James Braid, whose other courses include Carnoustie, Gleneagles and Royal Blackheath, wrote such an enthusiastic report about the suitability of the land at Aston Park that members were persuaded to accept his recommendation.

To mark the official opening of the new course in 1992, the Club invited four of Britain's leading players to give an exhibition match. One of the professionals was Henry Cotton (Open Champion in 1934, 1937 and 1948), who said it was one of the best courses he had played on. He also considered the 12th hole to be one of the best he had ever seen. Oswestry has been home to Ryder Cup players, Harry Weetman in the 1950's and Ian Woosnam in the 1980's. More recently, Scott Drummond, the 2004 European PGA winner, spent his formative years at the Club as a Junior Member.
