There have been 2 Parramatta Golf Clubs on this site, but separated by some 26 years.

 Formed in 1902 Parramatta Golf Club approached the legendary Carnegie Clark to design the course within the boundaries of Parramatta Park. Clark designed an 18 hole course with at least one drive having to clear the railway line. The members shared club facilities with Rosehill (later Parramatta) Bowling club in premises located near the site of the present rose garden.

In 1929 the park trustees returned the land to open space passive use so club members were invited to join Ryde Golf Club, subsequently renamed Ryde-Parramatta Golf Club.

In 1954 Bill Kaye-Smith professional at Fox Hills and manager of a driving range located on the present course approached the Parramatta Park Trust for permission to build two par 3s for patrons on the range. The Trust, interested in promoting park use suggested instead that a 9 hole course would fill a real need in Parramatta. Bill & Fay, his wife used their own funds with Bill designing the course, supervising construction and labouring himself.

The result was a par 32 course, essentially following the present layout.

Standard par for the course was reduced to par 31 when the third was shortened for safety reasons

The course was first fertilised, seeded and watered in the late 70,s and watering added in the 90s.

.At present Parramatta Golf club occupies the course on lease from Parramatta Regional Park Trust
