WANDERING 

History

A meeting of interested residents took place in April 1957 during which they discussed the possibility of constructing a golf course and forming a club.  Work began almost immediately. Bulldozers cleared timber for 9 holes and fairways were ploughed and levelled.  Interest lagged in 1958 but work continued in 1959 and some play took place in rugged conditions by the more enthusiastic golfers. The first stage of the clubhouse was completed in 1960.  In 1962 moves were made to extend the course to 18 holes. The second 9 holes was ready for play in May 1964.

Over the years some excellent low handicap golfers have emerged and continued on to win Championships and events in Upper Great Southern.  For most of us we attend golf for the challenge of improvement of handicap, the exercise and the social outlet. 

Each year the golf season commences in April (rain or no rain) and ends early October.

Club Day: Sunday -  Men & ladies tee off approx 12.30 for 18 holes of golf.

Ladies Day: Wednesday – Ladies tee off approx. 11.00 am for 18 holes of golf.

The competition fee is usually $5.00.
