Twickenham Golf Course

Twickenham Golf Course

With the post-war redevelopment of Fulwell Golf Course in the late 1950s, the nine former "outer course" holes 7 to 15 to the north of the Fulwell site furthest from the Fulwell Golf Club clubhouse were given up for 'recreational purposes'. The intention was to provide hockey and football pitches, bowling green, tennis courts, an open-air swimming pool, gymnasium and café. The high cost of development led to delay and, instead, in 1975, the site was reinstated as a 9-hole public play and pay golf course, known as Twickenham Golf Course with access from the Staines Road. Part of the site became home to Thamesians RFC between 1982 and 1992.
