Brent Valley Golf Club is located in Hanwell, near Ealing, London. The club is a member of the English Golf Union and is based on the Brent Valley Golf course, which is owned by Ealing Council. The club also belongs to the National Association of Public Golf Clubs and Courses.〔(National Association of Public Golf Clubs and Courses ) (NAPGC).〕 The club currently has just over 100 members. ==History== The club was founded in 1909 〔Nisbet's 1911 Golf Yearbook, British Library〕 by Albert Toley (1855–1924).〔Obituary in Middlesex County Times, September 12, 1925 (Ealing Library)〕 Before the club was founded in the 1800s the land on which Brent Valley was later to stand was owned by the Rector G.H. Glasse.〔British History Online, http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22339〕 The course was designed by JH Taylor 〔http://www.worldgolfhalloffame.org/hof/member.php?member=1112〕 in the early 1900s. At the first annual club dinner held on 5 April 1910 at the Trocodero, Hanwell membership was reported to be over 300.〔Middlesex and Hanwell Times of April 9, 1910 (Ealing Library)〕 In 1933, the club won the Middlesex CGU Coronation Bowl in the second year it was played. In 1938, Ealing Council acquired the course to preserve it from being developed and a lease with Brent Valley Golf Club was signed.〔Middlesex County Times, January 29, 1938 (Ealing Library)〕 The new public course was opened on 20 July 1938 by the Mayor of Ealing.〔Middlesex County Times, July 23, 1938 (Ealing Library)〕 In 1966 the old clubhouse, the “Dublin House” was demolished by the council and the present one built and the course was remodeled to the present format. It was believed that the remodelling was carried out by Peter Alliss but he has stated that this was not the case.〔Email to Richard Gray, the club historian, dated 20/8/10〕 In 2009 the club celebrated its centenary, which was marked by a ceremonial tee-off by the then Mayor of Ealing, Barbara Yerolemou (). The course is now run by a private contractor Everyone Active as of 1st October 2014, through a contract with Ealing Council.
