Osborne Golf Club is a nine-hole parkland course in the grounds of Osborne House at East Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Golf on the estate dates to 1892, when the 7th Duke of Richmond laid out an initial two-hole course. In 1904, after Queen Victoria's death, the golf ground was expanded to nine holes for officers based at Osborne, establishing the course in substantially its present form.
Alternate tees allow the nine greens to be played as an 18-hole round. The official 18-hole white card is par 70 and measures 6,354 yards, with a course rating of 70.9 and slope of 128; yellow plays to 6,150 yards, while the red configuration is par 73 over 5,717 yards. The course includes protected woodland and lies within the Osborne estate.
The course is a 9-hole parkland golf course. Designed by 7th Duke of Richmond, the course originally opened in 1904. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Practice Ground, Practice Green, Golf Buggy Rental, Full Membership, Country Membership.
Golf began on the estate in 1892 when the 7th Duke of Richmond laid out a two-hole course. After Queen Victoria died, Commander Powell, then governor of Osborne House, sanctioned an expansion to nine holes in 1904 so resident officers had a recreational facility.
The course was used extensively during the First World War when parts of Osborne House served as an officers' convalescent home. After the Second World War, work was required to repair bomb damage. In 1971 the club negotiated a lease separating the golf course from the house.
A fire destroyed the club pavilion in 1975; its replacement opened in 1976 and was extended in 1990.
The nine-hole course remains within the Osborne estate and is played as an 18-hole round using alternate tees. Visitors and societies are accepted.
