Orbost Golf Club, located in East Gippsland Shire, is a historic sports club that offers a beautiful course and top-notch facilities for members and visitors alike. Established in 1906 as the Snowy River Golf Club, the club has a rich history and has undergone several changes over the years.
Originally, the club played on private land near the banks of the Snowy River. However, due to floods and other factors, it was decided to relocate to its current site on the outskirts of Orbost. The club now shares the land with the local Race Club and Show Society, having acquired the land outright after these organisations moved to different locations.
The course at Orbost Golf Club has remained largely the same since its relocation, with only a few changes made over time. One significant change recently took place with the removal of the pine plantations that used to be a prominent feature of the course. This decision was necessary as the tree roots were causing damage to machinery and posed a safety risk to staff and golfers.
The clubhouse at Orbost Golf Club is a modern and well-appointed building. It not only caters to the needs of club members but is also available for hire at a modest fee for weddings and other functions. The clubhouse provides a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for all its visitors.
With all COVID-19 restrictions lifted, members and visitors can once again enjoy the stunning course and excellent facilities at Orbost Golf Club. Whether you are a seasoned golfer or just looking to spend a leisurely day with friends and family, Orbost Golf Club offers a fantastic experience for all.
