London Scottish Golf Club is a members' golf club, in Greater London. The club was first formed in 1865.
The London Scottish Golf Club, established in 1865, is acknowledged as the third oldest English golf club and operates on what is considered the longest continually played-upon course in England. Its origins are linked to the London Scottish Rifle Volunteers who initially mapped out seven holes in the early 1860s on Wimbledon Common.
Some of the golf course holes, such as Long Butt and Running Deer, were designed following the layout of rifle ranges, and remnants of this military past are evident as old bullets are sometimes found on the course. The club has historically moved clubhouses, with the original located in Mrs Doggett's cottage in 1865 and a subsequent move to the 'Iron House' in 1871.
The ladies established a separate nine-hole course on adjacent land in 1891, and the current clubhouse, a rare example of Victorian golf architecture, was built in 1897 but had to be restored after a fire in 1900. In 1881, disagreements between military and non-military members led to the formation of what is now the Royal Wimbledon Golf Club, which shared the course until 1907.
Wimbledon Common Golf Club, founded in 1908, shares the same course with a different starting point and clubhouse. To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the London Scottish Golf Club, Colin Montgomerie, a former Ryder Cup Captain, became the Club Captain for the year 2015/2016.
