Our History – Where it all began
Welcome to the historic Antill Park Country Golf Club, a place where history and the love for golf intertwine. Our clubhouse, a structure steeped in history, was built in 1864 by Major General John Macquarie Antill, who resided here with his family. It’s a remarkable thought that as the Antill family laid the foundations for what is now our Pro Shop and their home, the American Civil War raged across the seas.
In time, the property transitioned hands to the Maldon Cement Works, which repurposed the residence into housing for their employees, creating seven flats within the structure.
Our golfing journey began distinctively away from where we stand today, originally on the Redbank Estate, which is now the site of Mitre 10. The vision for a new course led the committee to the Antill family in 1961, proposing a lease for the 92-acre estate to establish a new home for golf in the area. With Council securing a lease of the grounds, the Antill Park Committee secured a sub-lease from Council. Through a collaborative effort, which included a public meeting in Picton, Antill Park Golf Club was born, marking the beginning of a new chapter on this historic ground.
The inaugural efforts to create the course culminated in 1963 with a community working bee, leading to the first game played in June and the official opening of the 9-hole course in September. Interestingly, the club celebrated its opening with a single-day liquor license, setting the stage for a festive beginning that would soon see the course expand to 12 holes by 1966 and reach its full 18-hole glory in 1969.
The dedication to this land was further cemented in 1978 when the council acquired the property from the Antill family, ensuring its legacy as a cornerstone of our community.
Reflecting on the modest beginnings of our membership costs in 1963, which was merely 2 pounds, we are reminded of the value and enduring spirit of our club.
As custodians of this remarkable legacy, we warmly invite you to be part of Antill Park Country Golf Club’s ongoing story, a tale of tradition, community, and the timeless allure of golf.
