Sundridge Park Ladies’ Golf Club, Bromley. (1904 - WW1)
The club was founded in 1904.
The Ladies’ had their own nine-hole course situated at Halls’ Farm to the west of the Sundridge Park course. At this time the ladies were sharing the clubhouse facilities with the men. With the suffragette movement gaining momentum the ladies were always striving to play on the full course but the committee of the Sundridge club were not very obliging. They did eventually have a separate annexe built for a ladies room but playing more often on the “Big Course” was still proving to be difficult.
Membership for ladies at this time was 100 and it was proposed to increase the membership to 150.
