In 1905 a group of local businessmen had the foresight to establish an 18-hole golf course on land overlooking the Victorian spa town of Llandrindod Wells to service the needs of the thousands of visitors that flocked to the town to "take the waters".

The course at Llandrindod Wells is of the highest possible pedigree. It was designed by six times Open Champion Harry Vardon, and altered some years later by five times champion James Braid, to produce, essentially, the superb course of 18 holes, almost 5800 yards in length (par 69), that you see today.

The club was inaugurated in 1907 with a match between the fabled Great Triumvirate of the sport, Vardon, Braid and JH Taylor.Llandrindod Wells Golf Club is the permanent home of the Golf Union of Wales Individual Handicap Championship.
