  • Newbury & Crookham Golf Club is located about two miles from the centre of Newbury, Berkshire on the fringes of Greenham Common. The Club is the result of an amalgamation in 1946 of two clubs: Crookham Golf Club, founded in 1873, and Newbury District Golf Club, founded in 1923. The present course, as envisaged for the Newbury District Golf Club, was opened for play in 1923. It was designed and constructed by John H. Turner and James Sherlock. John H. Turner was formerly engaged at RMC Camberley, Thornock, Gainsborough, Flackwell Heath, Denham, and, by 1922, Frilford Heath. His contribution was by far the greater, being responsible for most of the design of the course. James Sherlock was first engaged as a professional at Oxford University before moving to Stoke Poges and, by 1922, to Hunstanton. His best performances in the Open Championship were 6th at Sandwich in 1904 and 8th at St Andrews in 1905. He was a frequent winner of professional tournaments. Crookham Golf Club was founded in 1873 at the initiative of Captain Robert Dashwood Fowler RN and the Rev. John Scott Ramsay who graduated MA from United College, St Andrews University in 1863 and took up a living in his first church at nearby St Paul's, Kingsclere Woodlands in 1872. During his time at St Andrews he evidently practiced "the Golf" so that, when he arrived in Kingsclere, he already had a reputation as a "well known player from St Andrews". The location of the Crookham Golf Club course was on Crookham Common adjacent to, and on the North side of the road from Newbury through Crookham. The first mention of Crookham Golf Club was in the Berkshire Chronicle on 3rd May 1873 with a call to people interested in becoming members of the Club. They adopted a local hostelry, the Traveller's Friend, as their "Clubhouse". (en)
