At their general meeting on Tuesday night, Capital Golf Club members could not fill executive positions because of insufficient nominations.

Vice-president Ian O'Donnell said members moved to have an extraordinary meeting next month, when they will consider dissolving the club and management committee.

The site, which has been a prime target over many years for medium density residential development, is owned by property developer Sotiria Liangis, who says she is no longer interested in redeveloping it.

"That is a full golf course," she said. "Simple as that."

Members say the neighbouring Canberra International Golf Centre, which includes a pitch and putt range, leases the course from Mrs Liangis and owes them money relating to affiliation fees for Golf NSW.

Before the vote on Tuesday night, the golf centre's principal, Peter Kohlsdorf, told members he was prepared to run the golf competitions and set up his own committee.

A golfer at the meeting said Mr Kohlsdorf had said poor communication was not his fault and had blamed Capital Golf Club members for the breakdown.

The golfer said members wanted an amicable resolution and did not want to lose access to the course.

"Once you take away green space, you never get it back again," he said.

He said there had been about 500 members until recently, but numbers had dwindled by about a half and it was becoming increasingly difficult to access information on handicapping and competitions.

"The clubhouse is also sub-leased and that's going very well. Members are coming back in droves."

Club members used the course four times a week, while social members were there throughout the week.

Mr Kohlsdorf declined to comment on the issue.

Mrs Liangis said she was not involved in the business, and three years remained on his lease at the course.

"He [Mr Kohlsdorf] has to be responsible for running the business and at the end of the day to make some money for himself," she said.

"He is a very hard-working man and his wife is very much the same, and they always try to do the right thing by everybody. But sometimes, where you cannot please people, where people are very difficult, what can you do?"

Liangis Investments also owns the pitch and putt range, where it is developing a 78-room hotel.

Mrs Liangis tried to buy the Capital Golf Club years ago, but golfers, as tenants of the club, exercised their right of veto over the $3.8 million sale and made a successful approach to the Vikings to buy the club.

Fearful of losing their course in a redevelopment, the golfers saw Vikings as more likely to continue the business as a golf course than Mrs Liangis.

After paying $4.2 million, Vikings said it was not viable because of ageing infrastructure, high reliance on water, maintenance costs and declining revenue.

Then planning minister Andrew Barr advised Vikings in 2010 that the government would not allow a residential development on the property.

"They would have needed a significant variation to the Territory Plan and that site had never been factored into any government proposals around urban renewal," the minister had said.

Mrs Liangis bought the golf club the following year and earlier this year told The Canberra Times she was prepared to wait decades, or another generation, before deciding whether to redevelop it.

Mr O'Donnell does not believe redevelopment is imminent.

"It was a fairly strong endorsement on behalf of the Legislative Assembly a few years ago that that block of land always remain in the foreseeable future as a golf course, or recreation land," he said.
