Long Reef Golf Club

What Long Reef Golf Club does

Long Reef Golf Club is a private members' golf and hospitality club founded in 1921 and headquartered at Anzac Avenue, Collaroy, on Sydney's Northern Beaches. The club operates a single 18-hole par 72 links-style course laid along the Collaroy headland, taking advantage of coastal contours, ocean views, and prevailing sea breezes. It supports a headcount of 51-100 employees and is legally organized as a private members' club in New South Wales, Australia.

The revenue model is diversified across seven streams: recurring membership subscriptions (7-Day, 6-Day, 5-Day, Intermediate 18-25, and Junior tiers), public green fees for non-member social golfers, café and restaurant dining (including a regular Thursday Night Dine In programming curated by Head Chef Michael), event hosting for weddings, corporate functions, conferences, wakes and celebrations, golf lessons and clinics, gift cards ($50-$500), and charity/corporate golf day packages. Supporting facilities include a pro shop, driving range, function rooms, beachfront terrace, and a ParaGolfer accessibility program for disabled golfers. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the club website, on-site walk-ins, the NowBookIt café booking platform, and the miClub member portal.

The business is run as an integrated venue experience where the golf course anchors recreational golf while the clubhouse drives ancillary F&B and event revenue. The website references an active 'LRGC Major Refurbishment' / Clubhouse Masterplan, indicating ongoing capital investment in clubhouse infrastructure. Ownership is described as an independent members' club with no disclosed parent company, external investment, or private equity backing, though formal ownership and governance details beyond a board of directors are not publicly available.
