Gimme Golf

What Gimme Golf does

Gimme Golf is an Australian privately held golf tour operator founded in 1996 and headquartered in Camberwell, Melbourne, operating under the legal name Gimme Golf Australia (ABN 37 288 596 452, Travel Agents Licence No. 32849). The company self-describes as the longest-running single-owned golf tour operator in Australia and curates and sells golf vacation packages to individual golfers, corporate groups, and golf associations/clubs, both domestically within Australia and internationally across destinations in New Zealand, Vietnam, Thailand, China, Indonesia, Scotland, Ireland, South Africa, and the United States.

The product portfolio comprises two core lines: Australian Stay & Play packages (typically 2-5 nights, 2-4 rounds, priced AU$450-AU$2,495 per person) covering regions such as Melbourne Sandbelt, Mornington Peninsula, Port Stephens, Hunter Valley, Sunshine Coast, Tasmania (Barnbougle), Adelaide, Perth, and the Central Coast; and International Multi-Center Golf Tours (typically 6-15 days, 5-8 rounds, priced US$1,555-US$10,350 per person) such as the North by North West Ireland itinerary, Spectacular Scotland, South Africa Golf Safari, Vietnam Golf Trail, Pattaya Saver, Golfing Bintan Island, and Mission Hills Mid Week Special. Packages bundle accommodation, pre-reserved tee times at named premium courses (e.g., Royal Portrush, Kingsbarns, Fancourt Links, Mission Hills Vijay/Faldo), transfers, and sometimes meals and English-speaking guides.

The business is a pure direct-to-consumer service operation with no proprietary technology platform — no app, API, SDK, or patents exist. Distribution is exclusively direct via the company website (gimmegolf.com.au) with inquiry forms, supplemented by phone (+61 3 9809 1022) and email ([email protected]) during Melbourne business hours. Marketing relies on website listings, an email newsletter, and customer testimonials rather than paid acquisition. Revenue is generated through transaction-based per-person pricing on package sales (margin on the bundled itinerary). The firm operates with 7 employees, has never raised external funding, and is bootstrapped under founder ownership.

Revenue model

1. Golf Tour Package Sales: Gimme Golf generates revenue by curating and selling golf vacation packages that include accommodation, golf course bookings, transfers, and sometimes meals. The company packages together multi-destination golf tours and sells them directly to consumers, earning margin on the total package price. Revenue is generated through per-person pricing with both sharing (twin) and single supplement rates.
