In 1983 chairman of the club became Karel Plachý, who guided the club through a revolutionary period in which the club changed its name to Golf Club Třinec.

In the nineties the club tried to get a suitable location for the construction of the golf course. Decision went between VENDRYNĚ and Ropice.
