The Beaconsfield Golf Club was incorporated in 1904 under letters patent granted to Mr. Benjamin Tooke and 49 other founding members. Mr. Tooke, the first club president, was truly the father of the Club and in the family tradition of Beaconsfield, his great grandson, James Fraser, was also president seventy-five years later.The original course consisted of six holes, and annual dues were fifteen dollars. The fifteenth hole originally was a quarry, supplying stone for the construction of the Victoria Bridge in the mid-nineteenth century. The barn on the sixteenth housed work crews on this project and later became Beaconsfield's clubhouse.An indication of Club stability and environment can often be measured in the Club professional's tenure. Over Beaconsfield Golf Club's one hundred- and fifteen-year history, there have been but eight home pros. Jimmy Walter was the first Club pro followed by John Madden, Jimmy Black, Albert Murray, Jack Reynolds, Bill Kerr Sr. (twenty-eight years), Ron Healy (twenty-two years) and current Club Professional, Don Hachey.
