Fulford Golf Club moved, due in great part to the enthusiasm and drive of Archie Harrower, from its original site at Naburn Lane to Tilmire in 1935. The course was planned and constructed by Major Charles McKenzie, the partner and brother of the now legendary Alexander McKenzie, who designed Augusta National and Pebble Beach in the USA and Moortown and Alwoodley in Leeds.
The site was first inspected by the prolific Scottish golf course Architect and former open champion, James Braid in 1930, and its suitability assessed. The area consisted largely of heath, scrub, bog, sand and rabbit warrens with, at the Northern end, a narrow strip of arable land coinciding with what are now the fairway of the first four holes.
This 'Virtual Tour' was produced by Red Door VR Ltd. during the Summer of 2002, and allows a complete tour of the course, the Clubhouse and the Pro Shop
