Traralgon Golf Club is an 18-hole public-access course on Princes Highway at Traralgon in Victoria's Latrobe Valley. The club traces its formation to 18 October 1904, when the Traralgon Young People's Society resolved to create a golf and tennis club. Golf Australia currently rates the Blue men's course at par 72, scratch 71 and slope 126.
The club's course masterplan records the existing layout at approximately 5,802 metres. The present course includes undulating fairways, bunkering and several water carries, and its official hole-by-hole tour records three par 5s on the front nine and one on the back. The club moved through several earlier sites before purchasing its own land, and Vern Morcom was commissioned to design the course there.
The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 72, 5,802m (6,345 yards), course rating 71 and slope rating 126. Designed by Vernon Morcom, the course originally opened in 1904. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Bistro, Bar, Golf Lessons, Clubhouse, Golf Cart Rental, Membership.
The club's story began on 18 October 1904, when the Traralgon Young People's Society resolved to form a golf and tennis club for daytime recreation. James Campbell provided part of Traralgon Park for the original golf ground. Play there continued until 1907, and the club's history records that the greens, like many courses of the era, had to be fenced against cattle.
Golf was initially largely a winter activity.
Traralgon moved through several sites. By 1921 golf was being played around the railway reservoir, with leased and adjoining private land eventually allowing an 18-hole arrangement. Variable course conditions led to a substantial redesign during the 1930s.
In 1939 the club decided to secure its own land, buying property from Traralgon South farmer Jim Holden. Vern Morcom was then commissioned to design the course. The club's current masterplan notes that its greens have differing construction histories, with some dating back many decades and none built to modern USGA-style specifications.
The current course is an 18-hole layout with public visitor access. A modern masterplan proposes future changes, including reducing the course from par 72 and approximately 5,802 metres to par 71 and 5,399 metres, but those figures describe the proposed configuration rather than the presently rated course.
