The Croham Hurst Golf Club Company was formed in 1911 after a small group of local businessmen decided there was a need for a golf club in the countryside near Croydon.

Two courses, 9-hole and a full 18, were constructed from old agriculture land and were designed by James Braid and Frederick Hawtree. The 9-hole course was quickly abandoned after the main and present 18-hole course layout was opened in 1913.
