Golf is thought to have started in Kiama around 1903. The Shoalhaven Telegraph reported on 15 July 1903 that “Kiama can now claim a golf club”. It goes on to say that “The club has acted wisely in securing the services of a professional player, who visited Kiama the other day and laid out a 9 hole link, covering a mile, and which he says can be made into one of the best grounds in the state.” This original course was located on Chapman point and behind Kendall’s Beach.
