In 1896 a group of the social and financial elite of Essendon got together and built a golf course on land just south of the railway line near Essendon Station. They also acquired or built a club house on Buckley St, just south of St Columba's Convent School. The suburb, however, was developing quickly, necessitating a number of moves, until the club amalgamated with the Moreland Golf Club, and a golf course and club known as the Northern Golf Club was firmly established in Glenroy.
