From The Warminster Official Guide And Souvenir, 1928, written by Victor Strode Manley:
The West Wilts Golf Club is within a few minutes’ walk of the railway station by way of Copheap Avenue; altitude 600 feet above sea level. By car the approach is via Portway, entered through the Close at the Picture Palace, or the left turning after the Motor Works. A short but stiff climb up Elm Hill leads to the garage and club house.
The Club was started in 1891 and a lease on favourable terms being granted by Lord Bath in 1906, the links with a full 18-hole course were re-laid under the direction of J. H. Taylor, the well-known professional. At the opening ceremony Lord Balfour played a round and Braid and Vardon played exhibition matches. The links were again greatly improved in 1925 by H. S. Colt. The professional is J. Webb.
Application for membership should be addressed to the Hon. Secretary, Mr. H. Field, North Bradley, Trowbridge. The course is over closely mown turf extending more than 5,000 yards, nature assisting in making it the best in the county. Visitors are permitted to walk around the course but at their own risk.
