Peel is a must as a golfing day out. Situated on the Western side of the Isle of Man, the course is located on the outskirts of the town. Following a memorable round and refreshments in the friendly bar, why not take a walk down the narrow streets flanked by fishermans cottages and acquaint yourself with the picturesque harbour?If you have booked our transfer package, we can arrange for your clubs to be stored at the clubhouse and collected when we come and find you later in the evening. This is a successful formula for an itinerary and requested year after year by returning groups.
The History of Peel Golf Club
Peel Golf Club was founded in 1895 in the area known as the Congary in Peel. Like the rest of the Isle of Man in the 1890s, Peel was a place humming with activity.
Throughout the course of the War Years the officials struggled hard ot keep the Club going. Immediately after the Second World War Frank Dalgleish recognised that a lot of money needed to be spent on the club. He acquired the lease of the course, built an imposing clubhouse and helped to develop a vibrant social membership. His initatives can be seen as a turning point in the Club’s fortunes.
In a different but equally valuable way the efforts of Frank Sloane served the club well. As part-time green keeper he kept the course in fine condition by working on the greens and fairways at 5 a.m. before going to regular employment. Eddie Lancaster was also the Club Secretary for some 10 years at a crucial time in the Club’s history. His infectious enthusiasm and infinite capacity for working in the Club’s interest helped make Peel Golf Club what it is today.
As the club embarks upon its second century it does so with a course and clubhouse dramatically different from that prevailing even 40 years ago, let alone 100. Today the club and its course are priceless assets for Peel and indeed the Island as a whole. The acquisition of the land guarantees golf here for many years to come. No doubt fresh challenges and anxieties will arise in future years, however the spirit of Peel Golf Club and its members will keep it moving forward.
The Clubhouse
The year 1977 was described as “one of the most momentous in the history of the club” as Peter Alliss opened the sparkling new clubhouse. It marked the completion of the successful development of the club, and was the result of a lot of hardwork by the members over the years.
The Club house is now an ideal setting to relax over a drink and watch players approach the 18th green and set off down the 1st. A full bar menu is also available with a great range of home made food on offer.
