1900’s – 1930’s: The Early Years

Contemporary Golf Club was founded in 1912, during a time when golf was just beginning to take root in Australia. Originally established by a small group of local enthusiasts, the club began as a modest 9-hole course nestled among rolling paddocks. Despite its humble beginnings, it quickly became a popular meeting spot for the community, offering a place to relax, socialise, and enjoy the growing game of golf.

In the 1920s, the club saw its first significant expansion, with an additional 9 holes added, transforming it into an 18-hole course that attracted golfers from all over the region.

1940’s – 1960’s: Post-War Growth

The 1940s brought challenging times with the onset of World War II. Like many sporting clubs across Australia, Contemporary Golf Club saw its membership numbers dwindle as many members served overseas. However, the post-war era of the 1950s marked a period of resurgence and growth.

With the community rebuilding, the club underwent significant improvements, including the construction of a new clubhouse in 1955. The 1960s saw the introduction of more formal competitions and tournaments, helping to establish Contemporary Golf Club as a premier golfing destination in the region.

1970’s – 2000’s: Modernisation and Expansion

The 1970s and 1980s were transformative years for Contemporary Golf Club. In response to a growing membership, the course was modernised with enhanced greens, new water hazards, and improved fairways. The introduction of irrigation systems helped maintain the course’s pristine condition year-round, even during Australia’s hot summers.

The 1990s brought further technological advances, with the installation of automated tee booking systems and the club’s first website. By the early 2000s, the clubhouse had also undergone a major renovation, adding new dining facilities, a pro shop, and modern practice areas.
