History

Early in 1952, a number of members associated with the Brighton Golf Club were not in favour of building a Club House adjacent to the Municipal Golf Course and initiated a meeting of golfers interested in forming another Club to use the same course.  Thus Nepean Golf Club came into being and a handful of associates opened their season on March 12, 1952.  The Nepean Associates were admitted to the Victorian Ladies Golf League in 1953, needing to form a separate identity from the Nepean men, and in the same year the Nepean ladies won both B and C Pennant flags.

For many years Nepean had no club house and committee meetings were held in the toilet block at the end of the café or at members homes.  When a new Pro shop was to be built, a move was made to rent the old shop and use it as a Club house.  Permission was granted in 1980 and Nepean had their own Club House where it remains today.

In the late 1980’s the Nepean men re-located to Malvern and the ladies were left at Brighton as the Nepean Associates.  In 2001 the clubs name was changed to Nepean Women's Golf Club Inc.

Each year the Brighton and Nepean Clubs compete for the Brighton Shield.  This is a matchplay event which is played in a competitive spirit and we also enjoy the social interaction between the two clubs. 

Nepean has become more than a club - it is a fellowship and a community, where we can relax with friends as well as play stimulating and competitive golf.
