An eighteen hole golf course opened in 1913. The boundaries of the golf course respect some field boundaries that are shown on the 1st edition OS map of 1854 and Sanderson's map of 1835. This polygon outlines the area of Shrogs Wood which is mostly still surviving. The woodland is depicted on Sanderson's map of 1835. Smith (1961, 170) gives a definition of The Shrogs as bush or brushwood.
