As soon as you enter our home, Thrybergh Park, you will know you have arrived at a special place. Rolling fairways, edged by mature trees, fill the vista on both sides of the long driveway which meanders through the course to the club house. Our greenkeepers pride themselves on presenting a course we too are proud of. It is varied, not too long, yet full of surprises to satisfy the most discerning of golfers.
Not many clubs can boast a neo-Gothic clubhouse steeped in history and the ancestral home of one of South Yorkshire’s most illustrious families.
The current house dated from 1811, when Napoleon ruled France and Britain was fighting wars on four fronts, Incidentally it was also the year of the first recorded Ladies’ Golf Tournament, staged at Mussleburgh.
Today the clubhouse is a hive of activity, with its bars and celebrated catering. In the 19th members can be found talking through every shot they played, or watching sport in the Danny Willett lounge on Sky TV.
It is also home for numerous social events enjoyed by members throughout the year. These include relaxed barbecues, family fun days, curry and chilli nights, gourmet dinners as well formal black tie events such as the Captain’s dinner and New Year’s Eve dinner.
Members at Rotherham enjoy a full programme of golfing events throughout the year, both playing against each other and at home and away against other clubs.
There are a host of competitions to be played for including the scratch medal, a 36-hole strokeplay event, the Captain’s Prize, a knockout matchplay tournament played throughout the season culminating in a 36-hole final, and the Fullerton Cup.
A Winter Order of Merit keeps the interest going throughout the colder months – with various weekend competitions being enjoyed.
The club has a strong men’s section and enters scratch teams into leagues and knockout competitions run by the Sheffield Union and Yorkshire Union. We have regularly produced county players and our best known home grown is professional tour star, Danny Willett.
It is easy for clubs boasting so many good players to overlook those slightly less able, but even if breaking 80 is an uncommon occurrence, rest assured there is still plenty to interest you at Rotherham!
