Golubar played at youth level with hometown club Varteks (later renamed Varaždin).[1] He spent much of his early senior career in the Austrian Landesliga.[2]
In 2008, Golubar signed with Austrian Regionalliga club SV Stegersbach.[2] He made 15 appearances that season, scoring five goals.[2]
In 2009, Golubar returned to Croatia and signed with First League side Varaždin, near his home town.[3]
On 14 July 2011, Golubar made his European debut in the Europa League second qualifying round against Moldovan side Iskra-Stal.[4] He went on to make four Europa League appearances that season, scoring one goal.[3]
In winter 2012, Golubar signed with RNK Split.[2][3]
In the summer 2012, Golubar signed with Slovenian Second League side Zavrč.[2][3] In his first season in Slovenia, he made 24 appearances and scored 13 goals, tying Amer Krcić for top scorer in the league.[3][5] Zavrč won the league that season and earned promotion to the PrvaLiga.[5]
In the 2013–14 PrvaLiga, Golubar made 32 appearances for Zavrč, scoring five goals, and helping the club to a fifth-place finish, missing out on a Europa League spot by five points.[3]
In the summer 2014, Golubar signed with Olimpija Ljubljana.[3] He would make a total of thirteen league appearances for Olimpija before leaving the club in September 2015.[3]
Shortly after leaving Olimpija, Golubar returned to Zavrč for a second spell, making 17 league appearances and scoring four goals that season. [3]
In summer 2015, Golubar returned to Croatia and signed with Varaždin for a second spell, this time in the Third League.[6]
Midway through the 2016–17 season, Golubar left Varaždin to sign with Croatian Second League club Lučko.[3] Over the remainder of the season, he made seven league appearances and scored two goals.[3]
After Varaždin earned promotion to the Croatian Second League, Golubar re-signed again on 6 July 2017.[6] In the 2017–18 season he made 29 league appearances, scoring four goals, and scored the lone goal in Varažin's 1–2 Croatian Football Cup loss to Cibalia.[3] He helped Varaždin to a second-place finish in the Croatian Second Football League, earning a spot in the promotion playoff against Istra 1961, which they lost 3–2 on aggregate.[3]
On 23 January 2019, Golubar and Varaždin agreed to the mutual termination of his contract so that he could pursue opportunities abroad.[7]
On 14 February 2019, Golubar signed with new Canadian Premier League side Valour FC.[2] Golubar only got to play in three games for Valour during the 2019 Canadian Premier League season due to sustaining a season ending injury early on.[8] On 29 November 2019, the club announced that Golubar would not be returning for the 2020 season.[9]
On 21 January 2020, Golubar signed with his former club SV Neuberg, now playing in the Burgenland 2. Liga Süd of the Austrian 2. Landesliga.[10]
