A little historical information about
the club
In the late 1800s plans were made to build a housing
estate on the Links with three parallel roads between Tower
Road and the sea. The Headland riots in 1897 prevented this
development.The Golf Club was formed in 1890 with Mr. H. F.
Whitefield as its first President.The Towers was built on
land known in 1834 as the field meadow or close to land called
or known by the name of "the lookout".In 1835 the
large house called The Tower was built by Mr. G.W.T.Gregor
as a seaside residence. The Tower was rented to wealthy families
for holidays when the owner was at his inland home. In 1868
the lease was bought by Sir Paul William Molesworth. Then
in 1906 in consideration of £1,500 advanced and lent
to Dame J.F.Molesworth, The Tower passed into the hands of
Mr. John Simmons Tregoning. It eventually passed into the
hands of the Treffry estate from whom the Golf Club purchased
the freehold.
