Organised golf at Bendigo began at the start of the twentieth century. The club's official historical account records the opening of a six-hole course at Epsom on Wednesday, 21 August 1901. Contemporary newspaper reporting described the Mayor, Councillor Ryan, formally opening the links.
Approximately 100 people attended, travelling from Bendigo by bicycle or other transport, and 25 couples reportedly completed rounds of the new course. The opening reflected the spread of golf from metropolitan centres into regional Victorian communities during this period.
The original six-hole layout eventually developed into the present 18-hole course. The current facility occupies land at Epsom, north of central Bendigo, and provides separate men's and women's measured layouts. The men's course is listed at 6,040 metres with a par of 72, while the women's course measures 5,353 metres and has a par of 73.
The modern club also incorporates practice facilities and accommodates both member and visitor golf.
Bendigo Golf Club's historical significance lies partly in its early establishment. Its 1901 opening places it among the longstanding regional golf institutions of Victoria.
Bendigo Golf Club continues to operate an 18-hole course at Epsom. The club provides golf for members and visitors and maintains its historical record through its official website.
