An early advertisement seeking foundation members for the Wanneroo Golf Club

Historical information

Wanneroo Golf Club owes its existence to a dedicated band of amateur players who were determined to improve their golfing experience.

This group first met in 1970, united by their desire to provide access to a local private course with fantastic facilities. Rather than expend time and effort trying to bring about change in those around them, the group decided that the quickest way to achieve their goals was to found and build their own “private” club.

Their vision was achieved in three short years. The official opening day of the golf course was 24th March, 1973.

The Foundation Committee instigated and fostered the volunteers and sponsors who literally built the course with their own hands. It was back-breaking work, but it has proved to be a worthwhile effort and one which is appreciated by everyone associated with the Club.
