The club was founded in January 1904 by Officers of Military units in Sierra Leone. The first President being Lt. Col. Dalrymple-Hay.
The original course was situated at Brookfield’s, Freetown. A building in the first instance, rented for use as a Club House. In 1909 a Club House was erected, the cost being defrayed by voluntary contributions from members.
At the end of 1928 the club left Brookfield’s and moved to the present site at Lumley Beach. A nine-hole course was laid out and completed for play in July 1929 during which time a temporary Club House was erected.
