Corowa Golf Club

What Corowa Golf Club does

Corowa Golf Club is a privately held, community-owned registered club in Corowa, New South Wales, founded in 1903 and operating on a long-held land lease on the Murray River at the NSW-Victorian border. It runs an 18-hole sand-scrape golf course with driving range, a daily competition programme, and a Titleist Acushnet Brand Showcase Pro Shop offering equipment, club hire, cart hire, and pull buggy rental. The venue is open to visitors and social golfers seven days a week.

The club's offering extends beyond golf into on-site hospitality: a 35-room motel built in 1992 enabling play-and-stay packages, a 58-seat Federation Cinema opened in October 2018 with federal Stronger Communities grant funding, a sports bar and bistro, and clubhouse dining. Members access play at multiple courses through membership in the 'Golf on the Murray' cooperative and reciprocal arrangements with clubs across Australia, with reciprocal members receiving a 50% green fee discount. Pricing is published and unit-based: $60 for adult 18-hole green fees, $35 for 9 holes, $10-$15 for juniors, and $55 for 18-hole cart hire.

Revenue is generated from green fees, annual memberships (running October-September), pro shop retail, motel accommodation, cinema ticketing, and food and beverage. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via on-site facilities and a public online booking portal, supported by organic Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and email channels. The club sits under a board of directors chaired by President Debra Eason with General Manager Ashley Boyd, and is one of nine corporate sponsors listed as local Federation-region businesses, consistent with a regional community club structure.
