Ramsey Golf Course

Ramsey Golf Club is an 18-hole course located on the Isle of Man, with a rich design heritage spanning over a century. Originally established in 1891 as a 12-hole layout by Old Tom Morris, the course was extended to 18 holes in 1907. The current design owes most of its character to James Braid, who reimagined the course in 1928, creating a layout approximately 1000 yards longer than the original Morris design. Seven holes are notably set over land reclaimed from bogland.

The course evolved from a traditional links design to a parkland-style layout through strategic tree planting that improved drainage and increased difficulty. Braid praised the land for having some of the finest turf he had encountered, a quality maintained to the present day with greens kept to the highest standards. The elevated clubhouse provides stunning scenery both on-course and of the surrounding landscape. Ramsey has hosted notable competitions including an early invitational featuring Harry Vardon in 1892, and continues to contest the Town Cup, an annual championship presented by Ramsey Town Commissioners in 1902.
