Two sites were considered - the racecourse in Monreith Estate Grounds or Kirkmaiden. The latter was deemed most suitable and the subcomittee was empowered with laying out a 9 hole course.
The golf course was formally opened in October 1905 by the Honorary President, Rt. Hon Sir Herbert Maxwell, Bart., MP. He commented on the growing popularity of golf: "A few years ago, golf was entirely confined to Scotland and now it is hardly possible to find an English common where golfers are not visible."
In the same year 58 other golf clubs opened in the UK.
