The club was founded in 1904.

The nine-hole course was laid out on the banks of the Spean on land belonging to Captain Walker of Blairour. The club secretay was Mr D Cameron , and the captain Mr J Anderson of The Spean Bridge Hotel.

The course opened in May 1905 with the opening shot being struck by Mrs MacIntyre of The Manse. The weather was fine and there was a good turnout of members and guests to witness Mrs MacIntyre declare the course open.  

On Saturday May 23rd 1908 Fort William Golf Club visited Spean Bridge Golf Club to play for points in the Inter-Challenge Trophy.
