TREDEGAR PARK GOLF CLUB

Excerpt from

Coronation Year Souvenir 1937

The Tredegar Park Golf Club has been in existence at Tredegar Park, for 14 years. Prior to this the club was known as the Ladyhill Golf club and played for many years at Ladyhill, Chepstow Road. The land being required for building purposes, it became necessary to find another site. The Right Honourable Viscount Tredegar, who was approached on the matter very kindly consented to a portion of the Deer Park being converted into a Golf Course, and also accepted the Presidency of the Club. The Tredegar Park Golf Club Ltd, was formed and a splendid course was laid out, the springy nature of the turf and the excellent greens bringing the Club into the forefront of golf in South Wales and Monmouthshire.
Two years ago, a large tract of land on the lower part of the course was secured which enabled the Club to give up a portion of the Upland part of the Park and to-day there are fifteen holes on the flat and three holes on the rising ground of the old course.
The course has been considerably lengthened, being over 6,000yards in length and under the guidance of Mr Jas. Braid has been laid out on the most modern lines,. The fairways are in beautiful condition and the greens are improving in every way. The course provides a wonderful test of golf.

The membership of the Club has increased phenomenally during the last 18 months, over 150 new members have been enrolled, fully justifying the decision of the committee to make the change over the lower part of the Park.
The course is easily accessible being only three minutes from Bassaleg Station and buses from the town pass the door regularly.
The ClubHouse, which was burned down in 1929, was rebuilt and provides all the amenities for the fastidious golfer.
The subscription for Men is £4.4.0 and for Ladies £3.3.0
