Description

"Accrington and District Golf club was formed in 1893, making it one of the oldest clubs in Lancashire.

The six founder members held a meeting in the courtroom and the first task was to find a suitable site for play. The original nine-hole golf course was situated overlooking the town on the top of the coppice, and built by Mr. James Birtwistle of Blackburn who had also constructed Wilpshire golf course. The club was not located there long and, in 1908, was forced to relocate to the present site. Initially, a nine-hole course, by 1928 an 18-hole golf course was formally opened.
The course benefited greatly from automatic watering in 1991 while 'gravel banding' over winter of 1999/2000 has been the most recent improvement."
