Indooroopilly Heritage
Social
Not all activities at Indooroopilly are serious. We enjoy our golf competition but we also know how to have
fun. Club records show one of the early purchases was a piano and a dance floor was laid in the clubhouse
in 1936.

1970s concert - The Mullet Gut Mermaids

Pymble Visits
One of our oldest reciprocal clubs, Pymble Golf Club in Sydney, has had bonds with Indooroopilly back as
far as 1951. Since 1979 the two clubs have exchanged visits and many members have enjoyed the camaraderie of these annual get-togethers.
