Newark Golf Club began life in 1896 on a six hole course a-top the earthworks at the modern day Sconce Park.
In 1901, it moved to a 9-hole, purpose built course on Hawton Road in Newark. The club joined the Nottinghamshire Golf Union in 1904.
With the game growing in popularity in the early 1900s, a new site was sought for an 18-hole golf course. This site was found on 8 June 1934 and deemed suitable for an 18-hole course.
Following building of the course and the pavilion, the course was officially opened on 2 April 1935 by the Mayor of Newark, Coun. P. J. C Staniland.
The club has gone from strength to strength and remains a fixture on the Nottinghamshire golf circuit.
For the last 20 years, a Ryder Cup style event has been played against Moundbuilders Golf & Country Club, Newark, Ohio, USA.
