Chester Golf Club is an English golf club, located in Curzon Park, Chester, Cheshire. [1] The club participates in charity events, [2] competitions and inter-club matches. Set on two levels, the 18-hole parkland course is contained within a loop of the River Dee. [3] The clubhouse has a licensed bar.
The club was founded on 24 May 1901[ citation needed ] and is one of the oldest established golf clubs in the county of Cheshire.[ citation needed ] Formerly known as "Brueres Halgh" during the early Middle Ages, the land was used for agricultural purposes for many years. During the English Civil War a Parliamentary gun emplacement besieging Chester was used to bombard the northern defences of the city from a location close to where the maintenance sheds now stand.
Between 2011 and 2012, a gang broke into and repeatedly robbed the club, damaging the premises and stealing £203,000 worth of property. The suspects were later found guilty and imprisoned for the crime. [4]
