The club appeared in the Golfer's Handbook from 1937 - 1951 the secretary was A Knight.
The area the course occupied on Cannon Hall Country Park was requisitioned by the War Office in 1940 and a camp was erected for the armed forces.
Following the war it was proposed that the land should be used for open cast mining.
A tee from the original golf course could still be seen (2014).
