Strawberry Hill Golf Club began over 120 years ago. In 1900, Chiswick Golf Club was sold for development, leaving six local Strawberry Hill golfers without a course.

One of them, Henry Robert Fargus, lived at Milton House in Wellesley Road (now Milton Court). Behind it was 27 acres of grassland with a brook, trees and stables. With permission from the Freake Estate Company, they began playing there, using sheep hurdles as hazards and cutting holes directly into the ground.

Within a few years, the land was formally leased as a golf club. The stables became a kitchen and bar, and the grooms' quarters a locker room. J.H. Taylor - a 5-time Open Champion and one of the founding figures of professional golf, as well as the first President of the Professional Golfers' Association - was brought in to advise the layout. Under his guidance, the 9-hole course was established.

By November 1902, the Club had secured an annual lease.

The 1902-03 Golfing Annual record 180 members (115 men and 65 women) and the appointment of the first professional, Ernest Newbery. Fees were three guineas for gentlemen, two for ladies, with annual subscriptions of two and one guinea. Visitors could play for 1 shilling per day.

In 1910, a temporary clubhouse was built for around £260.

In 1911, caddies charged 1 shilling per round and lessons cost 2 shillings per hour. Gentlemen's subscriptions had risen to 3 guineas.

The Club developed a strong social life, including whilst, bridge playing and the popular annual smoking concert!

The lease was renewed yearly until 1927, when the land was sold to the Metropolitan Police. From 1927 to 1936, the Club faced uncertainty until the course was purchased by local councils.

After wartime hardship, the Club recovered and joined the Middlesex County Golf Union in 1946.

The 50th Anniversary in 1950 featured games, races, a Captains' parade, supper and dancing.

The 1960s saw a revival with popular invitation days. By 1969, entry was limited to 72 players due to high demand. New accommodation was also built for the professional and greenkeeper.

In 1968, the Club hosted a 36-hole professional tournament featuring six GB and Ireland Ryder Cup players. The prize fund was £550. Ken Bousfield equalled the course record of 59, still shared with JE ("Spon") Fullicks, who retired in 1969 after over 50 years of service.

In 1971, ownership passed to the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames.

The 75th Anniversary was celebrated in 1975 with a visit from Doug Sanders.

A new clubhouse opened in 1983. In 1998, equal rights for men and women were formally confirmed.

In 2000, the centenary was celebrated with a week of events and the planting of an oak tree between the 1st and 9th fairway.

Since 2010, all members play from the same tees. While par, Course Rating, and Slope Rating differ, the course is shared equally by all.
