Course
History
A course was established in Victoria Park, Sydney
in 1895. In 1909 it relocated to a new site at Lingan Bay and incorporated
on 31 March 1911. By 1912 they were forced to again relocate and in 1913
moved their clubhouse and constructed a new course at McLean's Crossing
the present location of the Lingan Golf Club on the highway between Sydney
and Glace Bay. Malcolm Martin native of
Dominion, NS, won the Maritime Amateur Golf Championship in 1914 and designed
the nine hole Sydney (Lingan) course as well as golf courses at Pictou,
Abercrombie, Baddeck, and Dominion. In 1922, the famed Stanley
Thompson made a side trip to Sydney to help redesign the Lingan course,
one of eleven courses he worked on that year.
The development of the second nine holes began
in 1964 with C.E. (Robbie) Robinson as the architect. |
