The Sorrento Golf Club was formed on the 30th March 1907 and was then known as "The Sorrento and Portsea Golf Club".
In 1909 for reasons which were not recorded, an extraordinary general meeting of the club decided to eliminate the words "and Portsea" from the name of the club. Thus it adopted it's current name - "The Sorrento Golf Club"
