Glenmore Grounds
Glenmore Grounds holds a special place in the history of the London Hunt and Country Club. In 1889, the London Hunt Club acquired 6 acres on Western Rd. from Hamilton More. This area, overlooking the Glen and previously owned by the More family (which lead to the name 'Glenmore'), featured an exercise ring for horses, elegant grass tennis courts, archery facilities, and an initial six holes of golf. Later, in 1900, the club leased the 30-acre Houseman property on Windermere Road, which bordered the Glenmore 6-hole course to the north. This expansion allowed the golf course to become a full nine holes. Notably, sheep were used to maintain the grass on the course at that time.
