About the Business
Merthyr Tydfil Golf Club was formed on the 20th November 1909 when ten local businessmen met at the Bush Hotel in Merthyr Tydfil. They decided to call the club "Cilsanws Golf Club (Cefn Coed)". At the same time they decided to engage Mr. Bradbeer, the professional at Pontypridd, for a fee of one Guinea to meet them on Cilsanws Mountain to discuss the Designing and building of the course.
On the advice of Mr. Bradbeer, a Mr Helland from Burnham was then engaged as the professional at the club at the rate of 25 shillings per week. The course was then constructed by Mr. Helland and two labourers working under the instructions of the committee.
The original course subsequently constructed consisted of ten holes with holes 1 and 2 being played once and a loop of 8 holes being played twice to constitute the full 18 holes. The 18th green at this time was some 800 yards from the clubhouse.
