Preston Golf Club is a members' golf club, in Lancashire. The club was first formed in 1892.
Preston Golf Course was established on the eastern side of Preston on November 19, 1892, when James Rigby and Nicholas Cockshutt consulted with George Lowe for its construction. Initially, the 9-hole course spanned 43 acres, with a length of approximately 2,600 yards, and included basic changing facilities.
In 1895, the course relocated to Fulwood, resulting in the merging of clubs and the foundation of Preston and Fulwood Golf Links. The redesigned 18-hole course, planned with George Lowe's assistance, extended over 4,210 yards of undulating meadowland and has undergone several changes overseen by renowned golfers like Harry Vardon and James Braid.
Noteworthy moments in the course's history include hosting the Roosevelt Nine Nations Golf Tournament aimed at fundraising for handicapped youth golfers. The tournament was played on the Sunday before the 1974 Open at Royal Lytham.
Significant developments for the golf course include the purchase of the land and clubhouse by members, leading to an expansion and improvement of the facilities. Over time, alterations extended the course to meet the clubhouse, created new holes, and sold off parts of land to finance further upgrades to the course and greens.
