Dear Members and Guests

It is my honour to welcome you to the Ilford Golf Club. We have been established 1907 and were one of the 15 founding members of the Essex Golf Union.
The last few years have been difficult for everybody, but despite that we have been able to construct and occupy a new specifically design clubhouse for our Members and Guests alike.
I was Captain in 2016 which was plagued with personal issues. It does not help your golf to seriously damage a knee and to be out of action for 6 months. I am therefore taking another bite of the cherry to be Captain for 2023/24. I will and shall be admirable supported by my Vice Captain John Mullen.
I would like to invite and shall always welcome all visitors to our special Golf Club. We are located around the River Roding which is a haven with various wild life including our resident Fox family. We have good fairways, firm greens and challenging approaches which are looked after by our great team of greenkeepers. We are not a long course but it can always be a challenge.
We pride ourselves on having a great course. Please do come and enjoy a round and facilities.
We have splendid Chef who caters for all needs large or small with an inventive twist.
During my year I have nominated two charities – Breast Cancer and Dementia UK. Both of these are close to my heart and do really need continued support.

I look forward to welcoming you to the Club
