About the Business
The Club originated in 1886 with a nine hole course set out on Whittington Heath a high piece of land adjacent to Whittington Barracks, two and half miles from the Cathedral City of Lichfield. Previous to this the heath has been used as a horse racing track, and there is still today visible reminders of this, particularly the "road" to the right of the 6th fairway and at the back of the 7th Green. Father of the Club was George Simon a Lieutenant Colonel of the Army Medical Service, who founded the Club which for some years was just a military one. Eventually civilian members were elected and gradually these members took over the running of the Club. The Club purchased the golf course from the M.O.D in 1994. This was financed by the members.
