The Royal Ascot golf club is steeped in rich history. The club was founded in 1887 before being given Royal status by Queen Victoria later that year. Many of her children learned to play golf at Royal Ascot and The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, was patron of the club in 1901. Visitors are ensured a warm welcome and it is hassle-free to play as a guest for the day. The club promises “a competitive game and good hospitality at the 19th hole” and you can swing by the club bar afterwards for a cold refreshment.
