History The emergence of the present Club was in March 1898 when it was launched and owned by three proprietors, Messrs George, Gibson and Way and named Castle Bar Golf Club. Mr George was a successful business man who contributed money to the Club in it's early days. The Men's Match Play competition is named after him. In 1901 it became a members' club and was renamed Ealing Golf Club. Then in 1909, the members formed a limited company to manage affairs and this in turn was replaced by Ealing Golf Club (1923) Ltd when the opportunity arose to purchase the Freehold land together with a further 8 acres for the sum of £13,000. Over the years there have been a number of changes to the layout of the course which was originally designed by one of the Great Triumvirate, James Braid. The first major change came in 1926 which took in the extra 8 acres, allowing for the loss of two holes to the planned Western Avenue. The new course was laid out by Harry S. Colt, a famous designer in his day.
