HISTORY AND HERITAGE

Preserving and bringing Australian Golf’s rich history to life

Australian Golf has a rich history that dates back to the 1820’s and since then the game has grown to be what it is today which has shaped the Australian sporting landscape through our wonderful golf courses and great players.

As the game has evolved, so too has a wonderful collection of items that have been compiled and curated by golf heritage groups and by individual clubs across the country. 

We now want to care, preserve, elevate, protect, and bring to life these heritage collections. In order to be able to achieve this, the Australian Golf Heritage Hub Project has been created.

Its mission will be to: 

• Provide leading, professional heritage services for the care and protection of golf heritage in Australia. 

• Manage the heritage collections and assets at the Australian Golf Centre (AGC) to professional standards. 

• Work in partnership with respective golf heritage groups and golf clubs to run projects that benefit multiple heritage collections.  

• Provide leadership in the three pillars of heritage management – (i) developing collections, (ii) managing collections and (iii) sharing collections.

By safeguarding our rich golfing history, we aim to ignite passion and inspiration in both current and future generations, ensuring that the legacy of golf continues to thrive and inspire.
