Box Hill Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-71 club in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. The current course measures 5,618 metres on the club's official course tour and occupies a site whose golf history began in 1933 when J. P.
C. Wellard established the Box Hill Public Golf Links. The wider Box Hill Golf Club name is older: an earlier nine-hole club existed by 1913 but eventually became associated with what developed into Eastern Golf Club.
The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 71, 5,618m. The course originally opened in 1933. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Golf Shop, Golf Lessons, Practice Area, Putting Green, Bistro, Restaurant, Bar, Function Rooms.
The Box Hill Golf Club name dates to an earlier nine-hole course south of Canterbury Road, with the first AGM held on 25 April 1913. That organisation later moved and evolved into Eastern Golf Club. The Box Hill name was revived in 1933 when J.
P. C. Wellard built the Box Hill Public Golf Links on land covering much of today's front nine, and a social group adopted the Box Hill Golf Club identity.
Wellard constructed fairways, tees and greens and installed a reticulated watering system. In 1952 club members negotiated to purchase the property but could initially afford only around half the land required for 18 holes. Additional land was leased from the Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works in 1967, allowing an 18-hole course to be established.
From the 1980s onward the club acquired previously leased parcels and created the present 15th and 16th holes, which in turn enabled redevelopment of holes 13, 14, 17 and 18.
Box Hill Golf Club now operates an 18-hole, par-71 course measuring 5,618 metres, with golf-shop, coaching, dining and function facilities.
