Frilford Heath was founded in 1908 by Dr Harry Challenor (a local physician), A.E.

After the Second World War, Frilford Heath House Estate and its woodland, which bordered the course, was put up for sale.

The original country mansion, heavily restored, replaced the 1921 building and now serves as the clubhouse.

The Blue Course was set out on an additional 169 acres of heathland purchased by the club in 1991.

[3] Most of the club grounds are designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest as Frilford Heath, Ponds and Fens.
