Municipal Inventory	Adopted	27 Oct 1998	Category 4	Category 4 Some heritage value, but not essential to an understanding of the district. Recommend that the place is not included on the Town Planning Scheme at this time. Re-assess the significance of the place when the Inventory is regularly reviewed. Assess in more detail when considering a development application. Record the place prior to redevelopment or demolition. This category is not included in the Town Planning Scheme, and therefore a planning application is not required for proposed development or demolition of the place. Should a building or demolition application be received by Shire, it should be considered on the basis of the recognised heritage value, and the owner offered the same consultation facilities as for the Town Planning Scheme. The places in this category should be reviewed regularly with consideration for inclusion in the Town Planning Scheme.

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.
