The History Kareela Golf Club


 

Kareela Golf Club started in the late 1960's as Salisbury Golf Club. It was originally a nine hole course that officially opened in September of 1970 by Councillor A.T. Gietzett. The second nine holes were opened on July 4th 1971 by the then Minister for Lands the Honourable T.L. Lewis. A membership to that initial club was $30 joining fee and $15 annually. A significant feature of that course was that not a single tree was removed in it’s design. 

Charitable organisations we have supported in recent years have differed slightly as we have undertaken several major projects for particular charities. The most recent being the urgent construction work at Como Pre-school that enabled the centre to keep operating. 

The Club is headed by President Mr. Graham Innes, eight Directors and the Secretary / Manager Mr. David Rootham. Together this management team are committed to the members and guests of the Club and the facilities that are offered.
