CHURCHILL Park Golf Club and Waverley Golf Club members have voted for a merger that will jointly base the clubs at the Endeavour Hills course.
Both clubs’ members voted in separate special general meetings on 14 September to form the merged Churchill-Waverley Golf and Bowls Club.
It will be based at the Churchill Park course, with the Waverley club’s course in Bergins Road, Rowville, to be sold for redevelopment.
Churchill Park president Geoff Ellis said the merger was required for both clubs’ long-term future.
“Both of our clubs have suffered for some time from the oversupply of golf courses in Melbourne.”
The new club plans for an extensive upgrade of the Churchill Park course, bowls greens and clubhouse.
