Of one thing, however, we can be certain, our present Club's origins can be traced back to November 1910 when a group of people, of whom Dr. E. C. Bailey was elected chairman, met at the Euston Coffee Tavern in Earle Street to discuss a proposition that a golf club should be formed. A Provisional Committee was set up to hunt around the vicinity for a suitable site. By December 1910, Bailey and his committee had examined a number of possibilities, the most suitable being at Mr. Booth's Fields Farm, Haslington. The proposition was: Rent - £4perannum Fairways to be mown 60 yards wide beginning 100 yards from the tees Greens to be made and fenced - not more than 25 sq. yards in area Bunkers to be allowed provided they did not interfere with cattle grazing A Club House and tool sheds to be allowed. Also grazing rights for one horse, but No dogs and no play on Sundays.
The earliest beginnings of golf in the Crewe area are shrouded in the mists of time. There is, for instance, some tantalising evidence of Golf being played at various sites in Crewe before 1893. Also, in the day books for 1911 - 1914, which survived the Club House fire of 1969, visitors were naming home clubs at Nantwich, Alvaston, Alsager, and Barthomley as well as such still-thriving clubs as Sandbach, Mossley and Wolstanton.
