History

In 1952, 70 acres of land adjoining the Bolgart townsite was purchased from Charles Syred's property. An eighteen hole golf course was designed by Sir John Dwyer. He opened the course on the second Saturday in July 1953. The opening day was scheduled for the following day, on Ludemann Cup day. As final preparations were being made for the opening, Sir John arrived a day early, and confused everyone. Everyone rallied, and the ladies produced a luncheon at Harry and Adele Ludeman's home. In more recent years, the golf club sold a small portion of land to the shire to enable a bowling club to be established. The golf club house has been extended over the years to accommodate the two clubs.
