TwinStars Leisure and Golf. In the late 1920s, a group of golfers created the western Golf
Club on the opposite side of the River next to Sydney Airport, using a tin shed on the course as a clubhouse and
paying two shillings in rent to the landowner for their 18 holes. The rapid growth of international air
transport after WWII meant major runway extensions that eventually forced the Club to find a new home, and in
1950 a new site in Western Sydney was found, and the new Golf Club was formed. In 1979, the Club had part of the
course resumed to make way for the building of the M5 Motorway. Construction of four new replacement golf holes
commenced in June 1980, with players teeing off from 1982. The necessary redesign of the layout enabled New
TwinStars Leisure and Golf Club to attain Group One status.
