The Club's history began in 1985 when it was launched to the public in a hospitality tent at Huntingdale Golf Club during The Masters tournament. The founders of the Club were not only astute business people, but also passionate about golf. The original course at Cape Schanck opened for play in March 1988, and by 1993, all 750 memberships had been sold.
In 1996, the Club expanded with the acquisition of the adjoining property, which added to the uniqueness and beauty of its courses. The National Golf Club is proud to acknowledge and pay respect to the Bunurong people, the traditional owners and custodians of the Cape Schanck land where they play, gather, and work.
