Anglesea Golf Club

What Anglesea Golf Club does

Anglesea Golf Club is a private members golf and hospitality club established in 1950, located along Victoria's Great Ocean Road in Anglesea, Australia, approximately 90 minutes from Melbourne. The club operates an 18-hole championship course set in native bushland, complemented by a 12-bay driving range, mini golf, a Pro Shop with PGA coaching, and a clubhouse with bar and function facilities (the Bistro is temporarily closed for renovation, with food service now operated by external vendors including Pete's Wood Fired Pizza and La Caseta Latin American Food). A defining feature is the on-course colony of approximately 300 Eastern Grey Kangaroos, which has been present since the club's founding and supports a paid 25-minute guided wildlife tour product (Roo Tours) operated in a 13-seater golf cart.

The club serves a diversified customer base spanning individual golfers, 830+ golf members and 1,200+ total members, corporate clients, regional tourists, and community groups. Revenue is generated across multiple streams: green fees ($65 weekday / $75 weekend for 18 holes), multi-tier memberships (Ordinary, Age-Based, Corporate, Social at $25/year, Junior at $170/year), kangaroo tour tickets ($20 adult / $8 child / $46 family), on-site accommodation in three townhouses (with group bookings scaling to 8 townhouses for 50 guests via Our Home Ground and Airbnb), food and beverage, corporate sponsorships (tee sign $1,250/year, driving range $795/year, course signage $400/year, special events $500–1,000), and donations to the AGC Foundation. Technology infrastructure is limited to standard SaaS booking and e-commerce platforms — MiClub for tee-time reservations, WooCommerce for tour bookings, and TryBooking for events — with no proprietary technology or AI capabilities. Operations are led by General Manager Chris Mandas under member-elected Board governance, with an elected Club Captain, Finance Manager, and Marketing and Membership Manager, and an independent charitable Foundation established in June 2024 to fund capital improvements.
