Our course is lined with these colourful flowering trees along with maples, blossoms, azaleas and other botanical treasures that flourish in our special part of the Mountains. Our parkland-like setting abounds with many native birds and ducks that thrive on our course and waterways.
History - Golf was first played in Blackheath in 1910 on what is now the Memorial Park.
The present site of the course was originally a nine hole course for a guest house known as "Belvedere". The ruins of the building remain today on the hill overlooking the present 16th fairway. The owner of "Belvedere" abandoned the links because of the steep climb up and down to the course from the guesthouse.
In March 1922 a public meeting was held in the Council Chambers in Blackheath which carried the following motion unanimously: "That this meeting is in favour of acquiring the Belvedere Golf Links". The result of this meeting was that a registered public company, known as "The Blackheath Land Co Ltd" was formed. A contract to purchase the Belvedere Golf Links was signed on 26 April 1922.
On 7 June 1922 the directors of the company formed themselves into a committee known as "Blackheath Golf Club". Annual fees for members were set at three guineas ($6.30) and 22 members were elected. Green fees for visitors were set at four shillings (40c) per day. The first club house was opened on 4 October 1924.
