Llanishen (Lisvane) Golf Club, Cardiff. (1900 – 1923)

The Lisvane Golf Club was founded in 1898 with a 9-hole golf course to the east of the railway near Ty-mawr.

The Lisvane Golf Club ceased to exist in 1902 when most of the members moved to form the Radyr Golf Club.

The club continued at Ty-Mawr until 1923 when the club moved to its present location on the opposite side of the railway.

Result of a match played on the Lisvane course against the Glamorganshire Golf Club in March 1902.
