The name
Kenilworth Gardens probably takes its name from Kenilworth Golf Club. Hugh Kirkaldy of St Andrews, who went on to win the 1891 Open, was asked to inspect the club's first course beside Kenilworth Castle.

The estate's streets were named after golf courses. The streets page explains how each match was made.
