Building/s: An elegant, formally designed composite structure placed on a level surface of half cut and half fill, oriented towards the north-west, being basically a symmetrically designed, U-shaped structure with entrance portico at the south-east side (back) and veranda on the north-east (front).The whole was made up of a rectangular, centrally placed double story main section built of brickwork,with a plinth of dark face brick in stretcher bond, a plastered with top section and a hipped roof with slate shingle finish, with sheet metal gutters and rain water down pipes, and with two single story
wings of the same construction and finish on the sides. Windows were rectangular, mostly horizontally proportioned except for the ablutions on the south-west side and on the inner facades of the side-wings, and made of standard steel window sections, showing escutcheon clearly belonging to the late 1930’s. The main section had a small open portico of the same construction on the southeast elevation, with a timber framed door with horizontal glazing and top-light. The portico was entered by means of a raised floor with low flanking plinth walls. The structure was covered by a saddle roof with fasciae, and with a small central louvered ventilator on the gable end. The portico was joined to the each side wing by a low       passage with a flat concrete roof. The main façade on the north-west side had a long enclosed veranda constructed of face brick and with a flat concrete roof, with a central opening and on either side two regularly spaced, large, horizontally   proportioned windows with brickwork in between – the sides of the veranda had similar windows. The veranda was accessed from the golf links by means of a small stair with flanking plinth walls, and from the main ground floor room by
means of double leafed French door with horizontal glazing and top-light, which door was flanked with vertically proportioned, timber framed windows with top-lights, stretching from floor to ceiling. The roof  of the enclosed veranda was open to the air, accessed from the main room on the 1^st floor, had a  transparent steel balustrade, and was used as an observation deck towards the 18^th and 19^th holes.The clubhouse had two very tall brick chimneys, one centrally positioned in the south-west wing, the other centrally positioned on the north-east side of the main double story section of the complex, providing a hearth for the main ground floor room.The Clubhouse was accompanied by the pro shop facility being two rectangular buildings on theentrance or south-east (road) side.
