In November 2014, a vote was put to the members of The National Golf Club and Frankston’s Long Island Country Club to merge and form one Club. The subsequent land purchase eventually led to the expansion of The National with an additional two 18-hole courses being constructed and opened for play by the end of the year 2000. In 1996, the then Chairman had a chance telephone conversation with the owner of the adjoining property, a spectacular piece of natural links land set amongst the dunes, with the coastline to Port Phillip Heads in the background. The original course at Cape Schanck was opened for play in March 1988 and by 1993 all 750 memberships in The National had been sold. The foundations of the Club were laid by great visionaries who were not only astute business people but also pure golfing enthusiasts. The National Golf Club was launched to the public in a hospitality tent at Huntingdale Golf Club during The Masters tournament of February 1985.
