The course was established in 1871 and designed by Tom Dunn.

Captain - Pat Donaghy  

I am greatly honoured to have been elected as Captain of Wimbledon Common Golf Club for 2011. During my membership I have been proud to be part of a club that is distinctive in its friendly and inviting attitude towards new members and guests alike. Not only is the club atmosphere unrivalled, but at Wimbledon Common you’ll find some of the best greens in the south of England. It is extremely resilient, rarely closes for bad weather or poor playing conditions and continues to challenge both new and experienced players. But there is plenty of opportunity for everyone to improve their game, with the experienced professional, Jeff Jukes, on hand for lessons. Competitions are held on an almost weekly basis, these will help to improve your game and lower your handicap. All members are encouraged to represent the club in matches against local golf clubs. These events are lots of fun and are generally followed by dinner and washed down with..... We have a very active senior section - WAGGS (Wimbledon Aged Gentlemen Golf Society) who also compete in many matches. 2011 is shaping up to be a pretty exciting year with lots of social events already planned; these details will follow in due course via my newsletter or on the club board.WCGC invites players of all levels to come and play the course, either as green fees, prospective members, or Societies. If you’re looking for a club that’s close to central London and is fantastic value for money or you would like to know more, please contact our office manager.

Lady Captain - Karen Owen I am greatly honoured to have been elected as Lady Captain for 2011.
We have an active and friendly ladies' section with our own monthly medal held over seven days so that all our lady members are able to take part. In addition we are able to enter many of the club competitions and have recently achieved some fantastic results. The Course is challenging but not too long and we are lucky to be able to play all year round on amazing greens.

New members are always welcome into the ladies section, regardless of whether you are a novice golfer who has not yet acquired a handicap, looking to play an occasional social round or an experienced golfer with a current handicap. We are an equal rights club which means we can play on the course at anytime depending on the category of our membership. As Lady Captain I would be particularly pleased to welcome any prospective new members to Wimbledon Common Golf Club. If you are considering joining the club and interested in playing a round as a guest of a lady member please contact me via the club office.
