Welcome
Welcome to the Royal Blackheath Golf Club. Widely regarded as the oldest golf club in the world, we also believe it to be the friendliest. It’s something we put down to our Scottish heritage and an independence of mind. As a private members’ club, we’ve got much to be happy about.
After all, we’re not owned by a corporation and ruled by the whim of its shareholders.
Which means Royal Blackheath Golf Club is run by the members for the members - we make the rules and any profit we generate goes back into the course, the clubhouse and our own excellent entertainment programme, which is reassuringly full of social extravaganzas throughout the year.
In fact, after centuries of catering for celebrations and special occasions, our splendid Clubhouse has become a very popular function venue with members and friends for holding wedding receptions, anniversaries and corporate parties.
But, of course, our prime objective at Royal Blackheath is to provide the right environment for golfers of every age, gender and proficiency to flourish and enjoy this great and ancient game. All members are encouraged to participate in the ever-growing tally of competitions and cup challenges, some of which, like the Spring Medal, date back to the 18th century.
