The club also belongs to the National Association of Public Golf Clubs and Courses. The club currently has just over 100 members.</p><h2>History</h2><p>The club was founded in 1909 by Albert Toley . Before the club was founded in the 1800s the land on which Brent Valley was later to stand was owned by the Rector G.H. Glasse. The course was designed by JH Taylor in the early 1900s. At the first annual club dinner held on 5 April 1910 at the Trocodero, Hanwell membership was reported to be over 300. In 1933, the club won the Middlesex CGU Coronation Bowl in the second year it was played. In 1938, Ealing Council acquired the course to preserve it from being developed and a lease with Brent Valley Golf Club was signed. The new public course was opened on 20 July 1938 by the Mayor of Ealing. In 1966 the old clubhouse, the “Dublin House” was demolished by the council and the present one built and the course was remodeled to the present format. It was believed that the remodelling was carried out by <a href="/pages/w/107507715946073">Peter Alliss</a> but he has stated that this was not the case. In 2009 the club celebrated its centenary, which was marked by a ceremonial tee-off by the then Mayor of Ealing, Barbara Yerolemou. The course is now run by a private contractor Everyone Active as of 1st October 2014, through a contract with Ealing Council. <gallery> File:Brent Valley clubhouse c 1910.jpg|The Brent Valley clubhouse c. 1910 File:Golf by the Mayor.jpg|The Mayor of Ealing officially opens Brent Valley Golf Course on July 20, 1938 after it was acquired by Ealing Council.
