Golf began in the town many years before 1913 on rough ground near the Ramelton Road.

Crievesmith was sold in 1965 for £3000 and the club moved to Barnhill and remain there to this day.

[citation needed] When the club moved to Barnhill an old farmhouse located on the land was used as the clubhouse.

This farmhouse was extended in 1967 before new 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) clubhouse was opened in 1999 with a restaurant and conference facilities.

In July 2007, the Declan Brannigan redesigned course was officially opened, addressing drainage problems which the old course had suffered from.
