Kenilworth is one of the oldest of golf clubs, having been established adjacent to Kenilworth Castle in 1889. By 1937 the club had outgrown that site and moved to its current location off Knowle Hill where it has matured into the challenging course it is today. Whilst never claiming to be a "Championship Course", Kenilworth has spawned a British Amateur Champion and, through its excellent Junior Section, been a source of Walker Cup and England Squad players. This year we will host a Mens' County Match between Warwickshire and Somerset.
Over the past year we have remodelled our 4th hole into a challenging par 3 and added new ditches to the 1st, 5th and 6th holes. These changes, together with some strategic tree planting have conspired to further the requirement for thought rather than distance! During 2008 we are planning more changes which will improve the quality of our fairways and tees.
Visitors, whether single or in groups, are always welcome at Kenilworth, on the course, in the Clubhouse and in our excellent Pro Shop, run by Steve Yates. Our Bar and Restaurant are open to non-members and we are a function venue for many non- golf organisations.
I wish all members of and visitors to Kenilworth Golf Club as much fun as I intend to have this year.
