Kew Golf Club

The club celebrated our hard working on course staff today with coffee and morning tea in the clubhouse. As typical, not all members of the team could make it as they were busy working on the course. Dedicated to the cause.

It’s a threepeat! Congratulations to Joana Donelly & Rowan Dick for winning the Neil Davey Trophy playing mixed Foursomes across the last two Sundays. Marg and Stewart Anderson took home the Nett event.

It’s always a pleasure hosting the Charles Crompton event for past & present Committee who have all contributed so much to Kew Golf Club over the years. The highlight of the ‘day’ was Life member Libby Day winning with trophy and enjoyed lunch alongside her 99 year old father Alan Day who is also a life member of Kew GC.

Charles Crompton was first elected to Committee in 1936, serving until 1948. He was re-elected in 1959 and became Treasurer in 1961 until 1974, a period which covered both the re-organisation caused by the establishment of the Eastern Freeway, the building of two new courses and a new Clubhouse. He then became Captain for two years and was elected as a Life Member in 1975.

Congratulations to Dorothy Chard who recorded a hole in one on the 4th hole on Tuesday 19th September 👏 Dorothy hit her ‘Divine’ 9 wood to a front middle flag, and was very surprised when she released it had gone in! 🥇

The Board of Kew Golf Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Stephen Roberts as our new Chief Executive Officer. Stephen will be joining Kew on the 2nd October after a long career in Golf and Resort management.

On this day, 3rd August 1894 a meeting was held at the Kew Recreation Hall to form a golf club to represent Kew and the surrounding district. Richard Taylor, the professional at Melbourne Golf Club, was appointed to select appropriate land for a course. In the following week, Taylor selected land and laid out a nine hole course that would be first played on 11th August, eight days after the meeting.
