The Emerald Golf Club began as the iconic Emerald Country Club which was set up as a country resort for the wealthy in the late 1920s. Following a period of financial difficulties and change of ownership it was renamed the Emerald Golf and Country Resort in the 1990s. It then operated for several years before winding up. Former members and a new manager re-established the club as the Emerald Golf Club in 2001, but that finally closed in 2017. These pennant flags relate to the club's success in Victorian Golf League competitions in 2009, 2010 and 2016.

The Emerald Golf Club has been an integral part of Emerald's sporting and social history.
