Club Info
In 1924 the beautiful golf course of the Bargara golf club was nothing but a swampy patch with large frontal dunes. A group of local residents with a common vision came together and purchased the land. The community back then consisted of a handful of permanent houses, holiday shacks and a hotel.
There is a deep rich history of the club but I will not bore you with the details. Below are summarized historic events that make Bargara Golf Club what it is today:
- Acquisition of more land in 1930 through the issuing of debentures.
- By 1950 the club had developed 18 holes however the maintenance of this course proved cumbersome thereby reducing the number of holes to 14
- Through persistence the course was extended to 18 holes by 1954
- In 1966 a lagoon was created on the western side which the Club retains ownership of to this day
- The first Club Professional arrived in 1968
- In 1980, Bermuda 328 replaced the old couch greens and water storage capacity grew with the assistance of a government grant.
- The present layout of the course was created in 1988 and enhanced by the construction of a new clubhouse in 1997.
- Currently the club has an ambitious project to create 5 star facilities to meet the needs of the growing community and visitors.
