Terrey Hills Golf and Country Club

What Terrey Hills Golf and Country Club does

Terrey Hills Golf and Country Club is a private members golf and country club headquartered at 116 Booralie Road, Terrey Hills, in Sydney's metropolitan north, adjacent to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Founded in 1994 as the first new golf course built in Sydney in over twenty years, the club was developed by a joint venture between Lansura Pty Ltd, Tokyo Dome Corp, and Sanki Shoji Co Ltd as a $100 million transformation of a former quarry site. The club changed ownership in 2016 and today operates with an 11–50 employee base, a Graham Marsh-designed 18-hole championship course with USGA-specification greens, a 250-metre driving range, short-game and putting practice areas, an 8-lake 180-megalitre integrated irrigation system, a clubhouse with function spaces, the Wisteria restaurant, a recently renovated golf shop, locker rooms, and supporting amenities.

The club's revenue model is anchored on a hard-capped membership of 750 Private and Corporate members structured through tradable Membership Preference Shares, with over 200 of those slots held by leading Australian corporations. Ancillary revenue is generated from coaching by PGA-accredited professionals using Trackman and V1 Video analysis (30-minute lesson $90, 60-minute lesson $170), green and competition fees, a golf shop with online retail, wedding and corporate event hosting (up to 200 and 250 guests respectively), corporate golf days (up to 144 players), restaurant and bar service, and range ball vending ($7 each). Members gain reciprocal access to at least nine premium clubs across Australia, New Zealand, China, Malaysia, Singapore, and France.

Distribution is direct and selective — primarily through the membership sales team, corporate outreach, and the club's website, supported by an iOS/Android mobile app, MiScore digital scoring, live course webcams, and Instagram. The customer base spans affluent private individuals, corporate organisations, wedding clients, and corporate event planners, all served from a single Sydney metro site with no current geographic expansion outside reciprocal partnerships.
