The club was established as a members’ club in 1895 and has been located at Wear Park since 1929.

Since the golf course opened at Wear Park in 1929 (teeing off horizontally across what is now the 18th, towards Topsham!), the golf course has bee reconfigured and improved to accommodate military barracks in WW2, encroaching housing developments on the boundaries, and of course, the modern game of golf. Tennis courts, swimming pools, squash courts and the gym were added over the years, with areas to eat and drink slotted in, and function rooms build to open the doors for weddings and events. Wear Park Restaurant and Spa were added more recently.

In 2021a major, multi-million pound redevelopment project commenced with the building of The Garden Pavilion, paving the way for new changing facilities, new cafe/bar areas, a new gym and fitness space, and new Reception to further improve the member experience and future-proof the club for decades to come.

Exeter Golf and Country Club is, and always will be, a members’ club at heart. 

Our members are shareholders and our Board of Directors and Committees are made up of members who volunteer to help improve the club.
