RCGC: Centenary Film

For 100 years, Royal Canberra Golf Club has been more than just a course - it’s been a place of tradition, community, and excellence. This film was created to celebrate the club’s centenary, capturing the stories, landscapes, and legacy that have shaped it into one of Australia’s most iconic golfing institutions. From early mornings on the fairways to the generations who have walked them, this piece is a tribute to the people and moments that define Royal Canberra.

To celebrate Royal Canberra Golf Club’s centenary, we produced a short documentary bringing together the voices of former presidents, board members, club captains, course staff and long-standing members to tell the story of one of Australia’s most respected golf clubs. Rather than simply recounting milestones, the film explores the people, decisions and traditions that have shaped Royal Canberra over the past hundred years.


From its beginnings on a modest nine-hole course near Canberra’s city centre, through its years at Acton on the banks of the Molonglo River, to its relocation to Westbourne Woods as Lake Burley Griffin transformed the capital, the documentary traces the club’s evolution alongside the history of Canberra itself.

More than a Golf Course.

While Royal Canberra is recognised as one of Australia’s premier inland golf courses, the film set out to tell a story beyond championship fairways and historic tournaments.


Through interviews with the club’s Course Superintendent, we explored the craftsmanship required to maintain a course of national significance and the unique landscape of Westbourne Woods that gives Royal Canberra its distinctive character. Current Club Captains reflected on the traditions, friendships and sense of belonging that continue to define membership today, revealing that the club’s greatest strength has always been its community.


Interwoven with archival imagery, these conversations create a portrait of a club that has continually evolved while remaining true to the values established a century ago.

Preserving History.

Projects like this remind us why documentary filmmaking remains such a powerful medium.

Every interview captured more than historical facts. They preserved first-hand memories, personal reflections and lived experiences that cannot be recreated.

For us, it was an opportunity to document not simply the history of a golf club, but the connection between a place and the people who have shaped it across generations.
