The club was founded in 1880. Francis Charteris, Lord Elcho, is considered founder and was first president of the club. The Rt. Hon. A.J. Balfour (the Prime Minister from 1902 to 1905) was one of the first captains in 1889. He was later captain of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. The club was also the short-lived home of Willie Fernie (the 1883 Open Champion). During World War 2, the club was taken over for use by the Royal Navy. Between 1942 and 1944 it was used as a launch site for Operation Outward. This saw the release of tens of thousands of balloons which were carried to Germany by prevailing winds. The balloon payloads were either incendiary devices, or long trailing steel wires intended to cause chort circuits in high voltage power lines.
