Prior to being a golf course the land on which Fulwell stands was a farm for some two hundred years. The 17th Century farm house forms part of the modern day clubhouse. - “Slade Lodge” currently being used as the Course Managers residence. Prior to 1994 the Lodge had been the Ladies Clubhouse since 1906. Alternatively, for the first two years of the Club’s existence “Rosendale”, a private residence in Wellington Road was used as the Club’s meeting house, until in 1907 a dedicated Clubhouse , designed by member architect J. P. Briggs was attached to Slade Lodge. This was timber framed and brick built with a corrugated iron roof. Unfortunately no internal shots of this building have been found to date.

In 1926 a substantial fire destroyed this initial building and was replaced with
a more luxurious clubhouse which for the most part remains in place today.
