History
The course was built by British Pacific Properties, the Guinness family's company, as part of its British Properties development on the slopes of Hollyburn Ridge. Stanley Thompson designed it, and it opened for play in 1937; the clubhouse, designed by J.F. Dawson of the Olmsted Brothers, followed in 1938. Doug Carrick's firm has advised the club since 1993 and has rebuilt several greens, including a new 14th green in 2017.
