I transferred to Wodonga in February 1953 and joined the club for the start of the winter golf season in 1953. Golf was only played during the winter months.

The membership would have only been about 40 men and 25 ladies.

The course was 15 holes. Prior to that, it was 12 holes until the football club moved from Belvoir Park to Martin Park, and the course was extended across the football oval to a 15-hole course.

Some years later, the club purchased the "Donkey Paddock" from Jack Hamilton-Smith and the course was extended to 18 holes.

The course was maintained by the members during the golf season.

Working bees were held prior to the opening of the golf season, sand scrapes chipped, re-sanded and oiled.

The club had a grey Ferguson tractor fitted with undercut mower blades to mow the rough and haul a set of gang mowers to mow the fairways and several Victa mowers to do cleaning up around the scrapes and under the trees.

The mowing was usually done by the secretary and anybody who had time off, like me (a shift worker).

At one time, the tractor was hired out to the Shire Council to mow vacant blocks of land in the town; it brought in revenue for the club.

The original clubhouse was a small weatherboard building with a veranda.

It must have had electricity on as there was a refrigerator which the member, who wanted a beer after the game, could put their bottle of beer in with their name on it and hoped after the game that nobody had drunk their beer.

A new clubhouse was built by the members supervised by Bob Martin, Alby Green and Andy Nelson.

It was built with concrete bricks, a galvanised iron roof and had lined ceilings. It consisted of one big long room, with a bar room and kitchen attached. The ladies' and men's locker rooms were built on one end.

There was a veranda built along the front and two large iron-frame windows looked out onto the golf course.
