History

In the 1930's, a nine-hole Golf Course existed in Edgar's paddock above the town. A Golf Club was formed in 1935, but this lapsed with the outbreak of war in 1939. In 1963, Mr. Jack Kitson sold 111 acres (Pt Locations 362, 431, 511, 525, 536 now called Lot 61) to the Shire of Girigin for the establishment of a Golf Course. In May 1963, a nine-hole Golf Course was ready for play and by 1966 an 18-hole course had been completed. On the 26th August 1978, new Golf Course Club Rooms were opened.
