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.
