The Caledonian Club (www.caledonianclub.com) was founded in 1891 and moved to its current location at 9 Halkin Street, Belgravia in 1946. The Club provides its members with a little piece of Scotland in the heart of London and is open to all Scots or those with a close association or empathy with Scotland.
The Golfing Society was founded in 1926 and is open to all members of the Caledonian Club. Any Club member wishing to join the society should contact the the Membership Secretary of the Club on membership@caledonianclub.com.
The Society organises several social events at the Club, an annual matchplay knockout and four meetings throughout the year, as well as a summer tour in June. We also have matches each year against fellow clubs in Scotland, London, Paris and Wales.
While the enjoyment of golf is at the core of the Society, it is the camaraderie that makes it special. Charlie Stewart, a Past-Captain of the Society, captured that camaraderie in verse:
‘St Andrews, Prestwick ,Gailes and Troon,
the memories could fill the room.
Of courses played and friends we’ve made
In a’ the years this game we’ve played.
Tonight we’ve shared with many friends
and just before this evening ends,
lets raise a glass to us a’
who share the love of the wee white ba’.
