History

The Golf Club was established in 1929 and has a proud tradition for Golf and bowls in the region. Originally a 9 hole sand-scrape course it was extended to an 18 hole course shortly after World War II.

With the popularity of Golf in Australia through the late 50's and early 60's the Mooroopna Golf Club was known as one of the best courses north of Melbourne and saw a bevy of Australian and overseas golfing professionals gracing the fairways of mighty Mooroopna.

Bob Shearer past Australian Champion started his Junior Golf at Mooroopna and his name still appears on the junior trophy held at the club. Many great International and Australian players such as the great Peter Thompson and the legendary Gary Player also played the Mooroopna fairways.

In 1964 the course was converted to grass greens. The Mooroopna Golf Club has become a very popular golfing and bowls venue for visitors and locals.

The Club has continued to grow and prosper, for example, since 1990 the Club's commercial arm has expanded into a 7 day a week business with the introduction of a Tabaret gaming facility, 7 day a week Bistro and other hospitality facilities. A resident Golf Professional and Pro shop are attached to the club to give members and visitors that extra personal service and assistance.

In recent years the Club has undertaken a program of course improvements including re building of greens and fairways. This continuing program will ensure that Mooroopna Golf Club remains at the forefront of golfing excellence in the region for many a year to come.
