"Played golf there today, 60 of us. Course in good condition for this time of year.
We had a 3 course meal, and some refreshments. Great welcome and company."
"We were made to feel most welcome at that time. As the years have passed we have
met some lovely people and more than that some good friends."
An excellent day. The course, especially the greens considering the very dry weather
was in very good condition. Lunch time menu was good. Well worth a visit.

A CLUB STEEPED IN HISTORY & TRADITION
The Stableford method of golf scoring, a system now utilised and revered, particularly by amateur golfers, the world over, was first devised by a Glamorganshire Club member, Dr. Frank Barney Gorton Stableford. He first tried it out on fellow members on 30th September 1898.
The Glamorganshire Golf Club was the first club to introduce the game into the heavily populated and industrialised south east of Wales in October 1890.
The first steps were taken at a public meeting held at the Jubilee Hall, Penarth, on October 20th, 1890, the declared purpose of which was “to consider the advisability of forming a golf club”. Lord Windsor’s agent had promised his Lordship’s assistance in providing the necessary land in the form of a few rough fields which those acquainted with the game considered very suitable so he gifted the plot of land in Lower Penarth and the Club was founded initially as a nine hole course.
The Club undertook an expansion programme to the full eighteen hole course during 1896 and the following year, enabling the 1897 Welsh Amateur Championship to take place in Penarth for the first time and has gone from strength-to-strength ever since.
