History
Originally founded in 1911 as a few holes, it took until 1914 for the popularity of the course to allow for a full 18-hole course to be funded and built.
In 1925 James Braid (golfer) provided insight into how to extend the course and utilising previous mining wasteland south of the engine house, which now consist of the holes 13th through to the 16th, although the new design was finally implemented in 1936 in time for the 25th anniversary [3]. The next major extension in 1974 was provided by acquiring the land that now consists of the 8th to the 12th holes, increasing the length of the course to over 6000 yards [4].
In 2011 St Austell Golf Club celebrated its centenary year, where there was a possibility to play on one of the original course layouts with temporary greens being created in the previous positions.
