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 Llanishen Golf Club came into being in 1904 and continued playing at Ty-mawr until 1923 when the club moved to its present location on the opposite side of the railway.
