This game has been played in some form or another for nearly 600 years. For almost as long, it’s been used as an excuse to get out of the house for a few days.

What we all know, long before the bags are packed, is that while great golf is often the backdrop for these kinds of trips, it’s rarely the thing that makes them memorable. It’s the company. And the laughter. It’s the little rituals that carry on for years. It’s all the things that happen after and in between and alongside the golf.

In the end, it’s the stories that matter.

Old Charlie is the backdrop for those stories. It’s a home for the annual ritual. Exceptional golf is a necessity, but what’s way more important to us is that this club is the space where a lifetime of cherished memories are born.

An exceptional private club, built for the annual trip. The most anticipated few days of your year, every year. An incredible place, but also a date. An unassailable circle on the annual calendar. One that’s as eagerly anticipated as an eight-year-old’s Christmas morning.

You know where you’ll be. You know who you’ll be with. And you know exactly how it’ll all make you feel.
