McLeod Country Golf Club, 18-hole golf course in Mount Ommaney, Brisbane, Australia

McLeod Country Golf Club is an 18-hole course near Mount Ommaney in Brisbane set across a large property with rolling terrain and natural parkland features. The greens and fairways follow the natural landscape, creating varied playing surfaces throughout the layout.

The idea of a club giving women equal rights was discussed from about 1963. Hilda Reid and Kathleen Atherton, members of Ashgrove Golf Club, learned that Centenary Estates was offering land, and on 20 September 1968 Atherton signed an agreement to buy it for $1 on condition a course was built. The first nine holes opened in 1972.

The name honours Gertrude McLeod, president of the Queensland Ladies Golf Union for 30 years and of the Australian Ladies Golf Union for five years. The clubhouse foyer displays the one-dollar note with which Kathleen Atherton bought the land in 1968.

The club sits in Mount Ommaney, Brisbane, Queensland, and the course has 18 holes. The clubhouse foyer displays the one-dollar note used to buy the land in 1968, so look for it on arrival. The club is run by a Board of nine directors, five women and four men.

The club holds a pioneering role in golf history by offering women equal standing long before this became common. Today it remains one of very few clubs globally to be managed entirely by female members, making it distinctly different from most others.
