HISTORY

The land at Sutton Hall Golf Club is well documented

within historial dates going back as far as 1100 when

it was owned by one Hoetei de Sutton, then by a Sir

Peter Dutton who had a mansion built in 1248. The

present Hall was built in 1483 and has some of the

medieval construction still surviving today.

Many features of the Golf Course date back

centuries for example the spring fed lake in front of

the club house with the water flow used to drive a

mill for grinding corn, as well as being a watering hole

for the stock that was kept on the land.

The present owners originally obtained planning

permission in 1988 to convert the farmland into a

Golf Course and work commenced in 1994 with the

design work undertaken by Ace Golf Ltd and course

building by Michael Lowe and Associates.

Emphasis was placed on utilising the natural contours

of the land.

The course was opened on October 14th 1995 with

the club house open for use in October 1996.
