The course was developed by Hooker Rex Pty Ltd in the mid 1960s. The company employed Mr Bob Green, a New South Wales golf architect, to select the best site and prepare the golf course for construction. Under the direction of Hooker Rex General Manager, Mr David Hillan, the course took shape and was established as a landmark in Flagstaff Hills, with a future residential community providing excellent golf course frontage.

In 1967, the Golf Club was formed, the clubhouse was built, and Hookrex asked the then committee to take charge of the golf portion of the project and give the club the right to purchase the property at some point in the future.

This was adopted in 1978 and the Golf Club now owns the land and the superb clubhouse. All of the club's activities have been sustained and one of the most important projects has been the construction of the catchment area. This dam not only provides a first class source of water for the upkeep of the course, but is also an integral part of the course and forms the picturesque par 3 seventh hole, appropriately named Loch Hillan, in recognition of David's personal contribution to the development of the club over the years.
