Gathurst Golf Club was established in 1913 as a nine hole course situated in the south of the village. However in 1959 The Ministry if Transport and Civil Aviation advised the members that the M6 motorway was to be constructed through the middle of the golf course.

Thus in 1961 a new 9 hole course and clubhouse was constructed to the west of the motorway. The course has been extended in the last few years to a 12 hole and more recently, in 1995 into a new 18 hole course.

Clubhouse has full facilities including newly furnished locker room and shower facilities.
