Originally the Course was laid out over part of the Northey Estate. As happened to many of our older Courses, Kingsdown was greatly affected by both Great Wars. Much of the land was lost to agriculture and the Club had to play a thirteen hole course. It was not until 1967 that the extra five holes were produced and improvements made to the Clubhouse. Further major changes took place in 1987 including the improving of the eighteeth hole. In more recent years the Clubhouse has had a major facelift and the Club Committee continues to improve the Course and its facilities.
