First depicted between 1907 and 1948 this golf course preserves no legibility of the older landscape of enclosed fields shown on earlier maps. This landscape, less regular than most of the local 'strip enclosure' countryside may well have resulted from assartment of natural ancient wood pasture hinted at by the placename 'Shrogs' shown on the earlier mapping associated with a plantation woodland. 'Shrogs' = ME brushwood (Field 1972).
