With a heritage dating back to 1920, Commonwealth Golf Club is revered for its magnificent, tree lined fairways, strategic bunkering and subtle sloping greens which call for accurate shot making and makes Commonwealth a true test for golfers of all abilities.
The course was designed by club Captain Charles Lane, who learned his craft from the world renowned Alister Mackenzie and Harry Colt. The guiding principles were to create a visually interesting, engaging layout where bunkers and hazards were intended to encourage strategic play.
All 18 greens were then re-designed in the mid 1930s under the guidance of administrator Sloan Morpeth who determined that no two greens be the same in shape and design.
The course remains true to these principles today.
