The Hamilton Club

Nestled in the vibrant regional city of Hamilton, in the heart of Victoria’s southwest, the Hamilton Club is among the oldest private mixed-membership clubs in the state.

Founded in 1875, the Hamilton Club has long united regional graziers, business leaders, and professionals. Its distinguished clubhouse, opened in 1879, has been carefully restored and modernised to meet members’ evolving needs while preserving its heritage. Today, the Club remains a respected and inclusive space for social connection and camaraderie.

Members and guests enjoy refined facilities within this historic setting, including elegant dining and meeting rooms, a library, traditional billiard room, and atmospheric wine cellar.

The Club maintains reciprocal arrangements with numerous private member clubs, providing members with access to premium facilities—and, in some cases, accommodation—across Australia and in select international locations. Visitors from reciprocal clubs are warmly welcomed when in the region.

Formally known as the ‘Wool Capital of the World’, Hamilton is celebrated for its pastoral heritage and natural beauty. Visitors can enjoy the annual Sheepvention Rural Expo in August, explore the acclaimed Hamilton Gallery, and stroll through the historic Botanic Gardens designed by William Guilfoyle. Nearby attractions include the Grampians National Park, Mount Napier State Park, the Coonawarra and Henty wine regions, and the coastal charm of Port Fairy.
