Geocache Description:

Magnetic nano cache, located close to a former golf clubhouse. Please replace carefully where you find it.

First found by weer1ley in the morning of 20 April 2011

The old Williamwood golf course and clubhouse were completed in May 1909.

The official opening ceremony for the then new course and clubhouse was a grand affair and took place on the sunny afternoon of Saturday 5th June 1909 in the presence of a large number of spectators. The members turned out in force and were joined in the celebrations by various dignitairies, captains and other representatives of neighbouring golf clubs who were invited by the Committee of Management. The whole development had been well planned and constructed and, by that time, the greens were already in nice condition.


The old clubhouse with the 1st tee and fairway on the left.

The Clubhouse, a fine two storey building, occupying a good site was estimated to cost with furnishings about £1700. In 1931 it was to become the Radleigh School and it is still an imposing building which is now occupied by a firm of accountants.

The current Williamwood Golf Club clubhouse on Clarkston Road, was formally opened on Saturday 23rd April 1932 is about 1/2 mile as the crow flies from the cache site.
