About Black Springs Golf Course

Black Springs Golf Course is a family owned and operated business. The course is built on approx 65 acres of land purchased in 1997 and main construction of the course began in early 1999.

The course opened to the public in October 1999. At that time some of the fairways were still not fully covered, so square patches of turf were used and tee up on fairways was allowed.

The Early Days

The first open was hosted in November 1999 and sponsored by Crokers Fuel & Oils, who continue to sponsor the mens open every year. The opens are now held in April each year. The men’s open is held over 2 days (36 holes) and the women’s open  is an    18 hole event held on the Saturday before or after the mens open.

In 1999 the club also entered the first A Grade Men’s Pennant team in Division 4. The team won 31 out of the 33 games played, promoting the team to Division 3 the next year. The A Grade Pennant team has been competitive over the years and is now maintaining a position between 1st & 2nd Division. The club now has pennants teams in Men’s B Grade and C Grade.

The course is nine holes with dual tees on numbers 2, 7 & 9. Although the course is built over fairly flat terrain, it has some picturesque and challenging holes. The fairways, covered with “Greenlees” turf, meander around a billabong,  and a forest of melaleucas. The greens are covered with “Bermuda 328” and are well maintained. Water is a feature on every hole on the course. The natural waterways and man made dams provide the course with ample water, even during to the driest year.
