Our History
The McLeod Country Golf Club was named after Gertrude Evelyn McLeod (1891-1971). Gertrude dedicated her life to her passion of golf, leading to her life-long advocacy in the evolution of golf in Australia particularly for women. In 1968, a new all women’s administered golf club was established and as a tribute to Gertrude, the title McLeod Country Golf Club was chosen.
The development of the McLeod Country Golf Club was a pinnacle moment for the advancement of women in sport in Australia. The founding committee faced numerous hurdles prior to the opening of the club. After several years of consultation amongst the golfing community, Brisbane City Council and often doubtful male only golf clubs, the team of dedicated ladies behind McLeod Country Golf Club successfully commissioned Architect Colin Trapp to design the minimalist clubhouse.
Funding for the new clubhouse was initially scarce as doubts over its legitimacy were cast throughout the community. Hilda Reed, a member of the founding committee, approached then QLD Premier Sir George Francis Reuben Nicklin to seek funding. Sir Nicklin took to the idea of the new club and proceeded to advocate to Suncorp to assist with the funds to build the clubhouse. A short time later, Suncorp agreed to loan roughly $45,000 to the committee for the initial funds for the construction of the clubhouse.
In September 1968, a handing over ceremony was held on the soon to be McLeod Country Golf Club land. It was at this ceremony, Century Estates, the original owners of the land handed over the deeds to the land for the sum of just $1, this $1 bill can still be found proudly mounted within the clubhouse.
As you go around the course you will encounter the famous silo. The silo on McLeod Golf Course, visible from Tekapo Street, marks the site of one of the original dairy farms in the area.
