Wanstead Golf Club

A Welcome from the Captain Bob Ward

It is my privilege to be Captain of this lovely Club this year. A warm “East End”  welcome awaits our members and guests alike. For first time visitors the card suggests that a good score will be easy to achieve; don’t be fooled! Although good accurate play will always be rewarded there are many pitfalls awaiting the errant shot. If this is your first or your thousandth trip to Wanstead enjoy both the Golf and the bar afterwards.

• Arguably the nearest golf course to the City & Canary Wharf
• 20 mins from Liverpool Street via the Central Line
• Just off the 5 mins from the North Circular (A 406)

The brief history of the club

Formerly the stables of the great Wanstead House which was built in 1720, the palace that was the seat of Earl Tylney of Castlemaine.  Such was its renown that in1764 King George 111 and Queen Charlotte escorted by Light Horse outriders were guests of John, 2^nd  Earl of Tylney. The beautiful house met its demise in 1825 and the landscaped gardens play host to the golfers with the first hole incorporating the wine cellars of the old house. The land is now the home of not just the golfers of Wanstead, but the bowlers, tennis players and cricketers too.
