Excerpts from 60th Jubilee 1925-1985
These excerpts  will be added to from time to time.
"Although we are proud of our well groomed, picturesque, 18 hole Golf Course (and we are told that we have some of the best greens around the country), it has taken years of hard work and dedication, by our greenkeepers, working bees and many members to achieve.
The land was covered in rushes, barberry hedges and large macrocarpa trees, also swampy drains that flooded when it rained, but with sheer grit and determination nine holes were developed the first year. An attept was made to start on another four, on the southern end of the property, but this effort was abandoned as the property was too wet. It was decided to use the original 9 holes until such time as they could organise proper drainage.
The greens in use were fenced and the land was leased for sheep  grazing. On club playing days 1200 ewes had to be remov
ed to enable play.
The layout of the 18 holes was planned by architect, Harry Dale. Tom Monroe, from Waikato Golf Association, planned and supervised the laying out of the greens. The Waikato Valley Flood Protection built the stop bank and Glen Hennessey recalls he and Tom Ingles raking over it three times with hand rakes to remove the stones.
The club may have the latest machinery these days, but it was a great thrill in 1968 when a new Massey Fergusson tractor arrived costing $1.700.00. The greens used to be mown with an 18" Ransome hand mower, and we now have a Torro machine.
When the club purchased a new set  of Mark 10 MacEwan gang mowers for $3.300.00 the green keepers were stunned when they duly arrived in a box unassembled, but after trial and error and outside help, they were soon happily mowing the fairways.
Over the years the drains have gradually been piped and filled in(no more fishing for golf balls).
The old implent shed was demolished(Ted Glass had a huge bonfire for days), and replaced a new workshop and storage shed built by our many working bees (members). A first class water system was installed to all the greens and days of waiting to turn the hoses on and off have passed.
The club  is indebted to all greenkeepers, past and present members over the years, who have spent many weary hours, to achieve the first class course we are proud to own.
The Mayor Mr R. Wright, officially opened the club house in August 1975.
many hours of voluntary labour enabled us to build this fine club house at a minimal cost of $65.000.The present value of the building has increased $320.000. An asset the club will never regret.
