Est. 1903
Situated in picturesque Royal Park, the course is both attractive and challenging, only 3 kms from the city, with the honour of being possibly the only golf course with a tram and train line running through it. The Club has been the nursery for many golfers who went on to make a mark in the golfing world, including Peter Thomson (club champion at the age of 16, in 1945) who won the British Open 5 times, Gus Jackson and Mick Ryan. Peter and Mick were both included in the VGA's Victorian Team of the Century in 2002.

The Club was contacted by Graeme Menzies in mid 2009 to kindly donate his father's (Charlie Menzies) clubs and cup. Charlie Menzies (seen below) was a Club member in the 1920s and won a trophy and monthly spoon in 1926.
