The club was formed and located as a more or less 9 hole course on Island Farm. Situated between Cemetery Road and the Avon River. Island farm is now owned by the Northam Gun Club. In 1918 the club shifted to Dunnard the current site of the Northam Trotting Ground and again a 9 hole course was laid out. In 1947 a committee was formed to investigate the purchase of a property suitable for an 18 hole course and subsequently bought the freehold of Springfield in 1948. The club shifted to Springfield during the summer of 1948 and 1949 was the first playing season on our present location. On Friday, 25 th October, 1985 at the Annual General Meeting of the Golf Club the name changed to the Northam Country Club. The reason for the change in the long term was so that several different sports could be catered for in one complex.

THE GILLETT PUTTER belonged to Mr W.J Gillett, the Club first Life Member and President from 1924 to 1948. It was presented on his retirement from the game and first played for in 1951. His son Merv, continues the association of the family name with the Northam Country Club by presenting an iron of the winner s choice as the annual trophy. Since his death in 1975 the Club has carried on this tradition. For several years a veteran event for players over 50 has been held in conjunction with the main event. The trophy for this season is presented in memory of a Life Member, Mr Keith Sermon - Donated by R & M Sermon. THE SPRINGFIELD CUP was inaugurated in 1962.
