The great Harry Vardon had laid out the course in Knighton in 1912. The course was designed using the contours of the hills as the natural guardians of the greens and it remains the same challenge today.
Description
The course was opened on 30th April 1913 with a matchplay tie between Mr Harry Vardon and Mr H Owen followed with a fourball between Mr Harry Vardon / Mr H Owen and Mr F G Corser / Mr George Humble. Bearing in mind Mr Harry Vardon was 6 times winner of the British Open Championship it must have been a huge achievement for Knighton Golf Club.
