Members of Mundesley Golf Club will turn the clock back to Edwardian times by dressing in period costume and using vintage wooden clubs to mark the milestone.

The weekend of celebrations, taking place in April, will also include family events to attract newcomers, with the club looking to its future as well as honouring its past.

Highlights of the anniversary events will be the renaming of the clubhouse bar to reflect its history on Friday, April 10, a 1901-themed competition the next day, and a classic car show, fete and live music plus junior competition on the Sunday.

Club manager Tom Sharpe said: “Our club has a fantastic history with its links to the great Harry Vardon but we also like to think it has a great future – so our anniversary is an ideal moment to combine nostalgia with ambition.

“It will be a fun weekend for members and allcomers alike, and we will encourage anyone to pop in to join us, whether they are golfers or not.”

Club chairman John Sewell said: “Celebrating 125 years is a proud milestone for our club and a tribute to the generations who have built the friendly, welcoming place we enjoy today.

“As we honour that history, our focus is firmly on the future — investing in our facilities, supporting our members, and embracing new ideas to ensure the club continues to grow, evolve, and thrive for generations to come.”

The club was opened in 1901 having been designed by one of the leading golfers of the day Harry Vardon, a six-time winner of the Open Championship.

He also pioneered new golfing dress style and invented a new grip method before turning his hand to course construction in later life.
