The Emerald Country Club was originally set up as a country retreat for the wealthy in the late 1920s. It was modelled on American country clubs and it was situated on land formerly owned by the Gembrook Nurseries. It offered accommodation and dining, a nine-hole golf course, tennis courts, a bowling green as well as swimming and fishing facilities.
