Kooringal Golf Club

What Kooringal Golf Club does

Kooringal Golf Club is a private, member-owned golf club operating an 18-hole championship course in Altona, in Melbourne's western suburbs, Australia. Founded in 1946 as the Williamstown Golf Club and renamed Kooringal in 1958 (from an Aboriginal word meaning "by the water"), the club has operated continuously for over 75 years and currently maintains a membership waitlist of approximately two years, indicating demand at or near capacity. The club is governed by a Board of Directors and supported by an independently trusteed Foundation (Kooringal Golf Club Foundation, with corporate trustee Kooringal Foundation Pty Ltd) registered under the Australian Sports Foundation as a Deductible Gift Recipient.

The operating platform comprises the 18-hole course, a clubhouse (rebuilt 1996 and further upgraded in 2016 with an integrated pro shop and Trackman indoor golf simulators), practice facilities, a restaurant and lounge bar, function rooms, and a TAB/Keno gaming lounge. Supporting technology is limited to standard industry tooling: the MiClub membership management platform and YGPOline.net e-commerce for the online shop and gift vouchers. The club runs structured golf development programs — MyGolf Junior Clinics (~80 juniors per term), a tiered Junior Academy, a Women's Introductory Programme, and a Junior Girls Scholarship Program partnered with Golf Australia — alongside reciprocal playing rights at 30+ partner clubs across Australia, China, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Revenue is generated across seven streams: tiered annual subscriptions ($430–$3,180 plus entrance fees up to $3,020), non-member green fees ($130) and member guest rates ($90), pro shop equipment sales and hire, food and beverage (lunch/dinner service plus happy hour), corporate golf day packages ($120–$190 per person plus beverage packages), TAB/Keno gaming, and a freemium social membership tier that drives F&B traffic. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer for memberships and visitors, with a dedicated events team for corporate bookings. Pricing is publicly disclosed and varies by membership tier, season, and access level; the club explicitly states revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
