A Brief History
Keperra Country Golf Club boasts a rich history, dating back to the 1930s when it was originally established as the Enoggera Golf Club. In 1940, the club adopted the Keperra name.
The course initially featured 9 holes, covering a total yardage of 2,616 yards. Due to the growing popularity of golf within the local community, the course expanded to a full 18-hole layout by 1936.
In 1981, the course underwent further expansion, evolving into the 27-hole championship layout that is now enjoyed by members and their guests.
The clubhouse, originally opened in 1935, has undergone numerous refurbishments and expansions over the years to accommodate the evolving needs of our members.
Our club has proudly hosted the prestigious Keperra Bowl, a renowned amateur tournament, for many years, attracting some of the world’s top amateur players.
In 1971, Keperra stepped in on short notice to host a memorable exhibition event featuring two golfing legends, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, who collectively boast 27 Major championships.
Keperra has also produced notable golfing talent, including John Senden, who has claimed six victories as a Touring Professional, with his most recent win at the 2014 Valspar Championship on the PGA Tour in the USA.
Peter Senior (Life Member) has won the Australian Open twice, and the Australian PGA Championship and Australian Masters three times. Despite now being classified as a veteran, he remains a formidable competitor.
Both John and Peter began their golfing journeys as juniors at Keperra, and we invite you to join us in continuing the legacy and writing the next chapter in the history of our distinguished club.

Our Flag
The Shield is vertically divided (per pale) into two sections, one coloured gold (or) and the other blue (azure), reflecting the Club’s primary colours. At the centre of the shield is a broad ring (chaplet) coloured white (argent) and adorned with Aboriginal designs, referencing the Bora Ring, a significant historical feature of the golf course.
The upper portion of the shield (chief) is separated from the remainder by an irregular, dancetty line and is coloured white (the third colour in the blazon), representing the third of the Club’s colours. The “dancetty” line symbolizes the hills of the Taylor Range. Within the chief, a Maltese Cross coloured blue (the second colour mentioned) is placed, signifying the club’s location within Queensland.
The crest features a bent (embowed) right arm coloured black (sable), representing an Aboriginal arm holding a woomera and spear. The woomera, a tool used to launch a projectile, symbolically represents the golf club, while the spear represents the golf ball.
Behind the shield, the crossed flagstaffs (in saltire) represent the flags on the greens, with red signifying the outward nine holes and gold (yellow, as per heraldic rules) representing the inward nine.
The laurel branches following the line of the shield (otherwise) are symbolic of athletic skill.
